Defending 4A Champs Next For 14-0 RHS Softball

 From the Capital-Journal


There’s not much better measuring stick in the area than the team just up the road. Defending 4A state champion Wamego comes to Rossville on Monday, a match that was postponed by weather a week earlier. Steamrolling toward a repeat, the Indians will test Rossville’s readiness for 3A playoff competition. 

“I think we’re going to have a bulls eye on us in that one because we took two games from them last year when they ended up winning the 4A state title,” Rossville coach John Nitsch said. “I think (Wamego has) had this game circled for a long time.

"It will still count for our overall record that determines seeding for regionals, so it’s important from that standpoint.  

“It’s really huge for our girls because it’s a bigger school we play in other sports besides just softball. Our girls want to make up for losing to them in basketball this year. They were ahead at halftime and let it get away.

"So it’s turned into a little bit of a rivalry.” 

The Bulldawgs will have to grind through a busy week with a lot on the line. They will face Rock Creek on Tuesday. That should determine the Mid-East league crown.  

If the Bulldawgs want bragging rights against Wamego, they will be out for revenge against Rock Creek. The Mustangs, who have moved up to 4A this year, foiled Rossville’s drive for a 3A state bid last year.
