Corey Catron Leads Dawg Come-back Win

From the Capital-Journal:

 With Rossville (7-0) starting quarterback Torrey Horak standing on the sideline with his left arm in a sling and the Bulldogs trailing late in the third quarter on the road to their biggest rival, the No. 1 ranked and defending Class 2A champs found out exactly what they are made of Friday night in the latest installment of the War on 24.

Behind 116 yards rushing, 34 yards passing and two fourth quarter touchdowns from backup quarterback Corey Catron, Rossville answered the Eagles third quarter comeback to leave Silver Lake (5-2) with a 24-19 victory.

Pedro Arantes--First Year As A Kicker

From The Capital=Journal

 The War on 24 football game is one of Kansas’ most recognized rivalries, drawing attention beyond the state’s borders over the years. 

This year, even people in Brazil will take note. 

You may wonder why fans in the Rossville stands are waving Brazil flags and wearing “Vote for Pedro” T-shirts. It’s because the Bulldogs feature an exchange student from the South American nation as their kicker. 

Pedro Arantes had never kicked a football before August. He’d watched almost no American football on television. But once he learned the intricacies of booting a pigskin, as opposed to a soccer ball, he gained quite a following at his new high school.
