MISSION VALLEY (5-2) AT ROSSVILLE (5-2) Oct. 19

Both teams have already clinched playoff berths out of Class 2A’s District 4. Rossville still has a shot at capturing the district title, however, needing a win over the Vikings and either a loss by Riley County or a one-point win by the Falcons over St. Marys coupled with a 13-point win by the Bulldawgs over Mission Valley. Rossville has extra motivation as a 33-27 overtime loss to the Vikings last year played a big role in the Bulldawgs missing the playoffs after winning three straight Class 3A titles. The win was one of the biggest in program history for the Vikings, who have followed with a strong season in Justin Duncan’s first year as coach. Cohle Phillips leads the Vikings with 836 rushing yards and seven touchdowns while quarterback Trevor Moore has a combined 1,004 rushing and passing yards and 14 touchdowns. Rossville quarterback Garrett Carver has been a one-man wrecking crew with 942 yards and seven touchdowns passing and 796 yards and 15 touchdowns rushing.

Prediction: Rossville over Mission Valley
