Centrailia Gives Dawgs An Early Test

 CENTRLIA, Kan. (WIBW) - The Centralia Panthers are eager for a return to the 1A state title game after missing it in 2020.

“We have two goals,” head coach Larry Glatczak said. “Get better every day and play on Thanksgiving weekend.”

The Panthers went 12-1 in 2019 on the way to a state championship. Last season, Centralia finished 8-2, falling to Lyndon in sectionals.

This year’s squad is on a mission to get back to the big game. Ten seniors will lead the charge, including starting quarterback Ethan McNally.

”We’re gonna take it week by week obviously, but essentially we’re just trying to get to the state championship,” McNally said.

“We had a good summer with kids participating in weights and workouts,” Glatczak said. “It’ll take some work, as it does every year. But we’ve got great kids, we’ve got a great community.”

Centralia’s only other loss of 2020 came to eventual 2A state champs, undefeated Rossville (13-0). The Panthers will kick off 2021 on the road against the Bulldogs in our Kansas Prep Zone Game of the Week.

KPZ kicks off Friday night on 13 NEWS at 10:00 p.m.

KSNT Preview of Dawgs

 ROSSVILLE (KSNT) – It’s tough to top an undefeated season that ends with a state title, but the Rossville football team says winning never gets old.

If the Dawgs want to repeat as state champs they will have to fill the holes of last year’s senior stars Bo Reeves and Woodrow Rezac.

One thing that hasn’t changed for their team, however, is their quarterback: Torrey Horak.

WIBW Article About Bulldawgs FB

 ROSSVILLE, Kan. (WIBW) - The Rossville Bulldogs return to the field in 2021 with a massive target on their backs.

They dominated last season, finishing a perfect 13-0 and winners of the 2A state championship.

Eleven starters from that state title winning group are back, headlined by all-state quarterback Torrey Horak.

He put up 55 touchdowns in 2020.

“Obviously that’s always the goal but especially winning it last year,” Horak said. “I think that’s where we’re setting our goals, and we’ve got enough guys. We’ve got plenty of athletes to go around. I think we’ve got a good shot at it again.”

The ‘Dawgs know in order to repeat, they’ll have to fend off everyone’s best effort to beat them.

“The kids have been warned that we will have a target on our back this year and we will get everyone’s best shot,” head coach Derick Hammes said. “So, you know that’s something as a returning state champion that you’ve got to deal with. You’ve got to be ready to deal with that because it’s a reality.”

Rossville kicks off 2021 on the road against the Centralia in our Kansas Prep Zone Game of the Week.

KPZ kicks off Friday night on 13 NEWS at 10:00 p.m.

Outside of those two, only Maur Hill (42.7) scored more than 36.6 points a contest. Rossville and Silver Lake each return elite quarterbacks with Torrey Horak and Daigan Kruger, respectively. Horak is the defending 2A Offensive Player of the Year. Beloit has among CIK’s top OL units paced by junior Grady Seyfert. Hoisington has been highly consistent under coach Zach Baird and has not lost a regular season game since Oct. 10, 2018. Legend Robinson is expected to step into the leading RB role, and Cole Gilliland should be among 2A’s top OL/DLs. Osage City paced 2A in scoring defense at nine points a game. While Rossville/SL is the definite East favorite, the West is significantly more wide-open. Kingman was No. 5 in scoring offense and sixth in defense and is a darkhorse contender.
