Mission Valley Game Progress

Rossville scored with 7 seconds left in the first qtr. to take a 6-0 lead on a run by Trevor Johnson.

MV struck back quickly  with 10:26 left in the half with a 64 yard TD pass to tie the game. The teams traded short drives in a defensive struggle until MV scored on a pass play with 36 seconds remaining to go up 13-6.  On the previous play,  Christian Madill sacked the MV quarterback which seemed if might slow their drive as they faced a 2 and 17.  But,  the successful pass nullified the fine defensive play

The Dawgs scored with 3:22 left in the third to tie the game at 13 all.

Dawgs scored on a long pass of about 50 yards early in the fourth qtr to go up 20-13.  In the ensuing MV drive,  the Dawgs intercepted.  However their drive ended about the 20 coming up about one inch short in a measurement of 4th down.  The MV drive was once again stopped by an interception whcih was taken back to about the MV 30.  A few plays later the Dawgs scored to go up 27-13 with 3:27 left in the 4th.  However,  on the next drive, the Vikings completed a long pass to the 10 yard line and two plays later scored.  A fake extra point kick added two points to get within 6.   But the Dawgs fumbled the ball on a bad snap and MV had the ball with two minutes left.  MV scored as time ran out,  but the Dawgs blocked the extra point kick.  Tied at 27 at the end of regulation time.

On to OT.

The Dawgs were on offense first.  They were not able to get the ball into the end zone so attempted a field goal which missed.  MV was able to complete a pass into the end zone to win 66-27.

Rossville is now 0-1 in district play.  They must win at least 2 of the next 3 games to get continue in the playoffs.

Lydia Francis Carl /Dailey (Smatla)(36) Passes Away

Lydia Francis Carl /Dailey (Smatla) Born July 28th, 1916 in Maple Hill, KS, the oldest daughter of Czech immigrants Thomas & Marie Smatla, she grew up with 5 brothers & 2 sisters near Rossville, KS.

After graduating from Rossville HS in 1936, she worked in Topeka and put herself through Barnes Business College, earning what would now be an Associate Degree. "I wanted to make something of myself" she would often say. Ultimately meeting and marrying Donald Dailey in 1942 "He was a great dancer." She was with the War Price Administration during WW-II in San Francisco, having a baby boy in 1943. Fearing possible invasion on the coast, she moved back to Willard, KS with her parents; Don following after the war was over. She was with Capper Publications, Farmers Insurance and the US Dept. of Agriculture (she was certainly qualified for that!) for many years, ultimately transferring to the Treasury Dept, retiring from the IRS. Incredibly active in Senior groups, the JoCo Election Commission and the Overland Park Presbyterian Church, she always had her "hands in the dirt"... this great Mom who could make ANYTHING grow, always had a large garden, and made frequent visits to the "home place" farm to help her parents & brothers. Growing up in the Depression, she wasted nothing ("Don't you throw that tin foil away!"), and we always had plenty of canned vegetables & fruits from the gardens. Many holiday dinners were made by Mom's talented hands, and little talking could be heard over the sounds of happy eaters. She lost husband Don in 1987, remarrying James Carl in 1988, happily sharing their life until his passing in 2010. Having outlived 7 siblings, she then spent the remainder of her 101 years at Overland Park Place, but continued to feed birds who landed on her balcony ledge & grow starter plants on the windowsill.

Survivors include her son, Thomas C. Dailey of Sedalia, CO; nieces, Paula Kingman, Denise Horgan and Kristi Seigler of Kansas City, Rita Darlene Antoniowicz of Albany, GA, Marcia Reiter of Topeka, KS and Debra Likes of Leavenworth, KS; nephews, Larry Smatla of Oskaloosa, KS, Calvin Kingman of KCMO, Tom Smatla & Paul Smatla of Grand Junction, CO and many grandnieces & nephews and Tom's "adopted" daughter Shona & son Sean.

Come celebrate Mom's life and remember... stand on the plastic! 

Visitation will be 2pm - 4pm, Sunday, October 15th at the McGilley & Hoge Chapel. Her Celebration of Life Service will be 10:30am, Monday, October 16th at the McGilley & Hoge Chapel, 8024 Santa Fe Drive, Overland Park with burial following the service at the Czech Moravian Cemetery, Rossville, KS. Online condolences may be left at www.mcgilleyhoge.com.
