Riley County Wins 26-20

   Riley County was able to complete most of the passes they threw, but the Dawgs were able to handle the Falcons on the runing plays.   Much like the game against St. Marys.   Those many pass completions doomed the Dawg defense.

    The Falcons scored two TDs in the first half before the Dawgs scored.   It looked like the Dawgs would finish the first half only down 12-7 but a Riley Co TD with :00 left in the half put them up 20-7.  Rossville then scored  two TDs to tie the score at 20-20.    Looked like it might be an OT game,  but the Falcons scored another 6 points with less than 2 minutes left.  Final Score 26-20 in favor of Riley County.
