North Andrew continued to maintain its stranglehold on the top spot of the Eight Man Coaches Association Football Rankings. Worth County looks to rise following its 58-12 victory over Mound City, while Rock Port and North-West Nodaway look to rebound following impressive victories. The bubble burst for Albany, a team ranked ahead of Worth County as they suffered their first loss of the season.
#1 North Andrew 76, Pattonsburg 0 -- The Cardinals did nothing to hurt their top ranking as the two future GRC foes tangled. The Panthers have only scored once all year.
#2 Stanberry 30, #3 Southwest Livingston 20 -- In this matchup, featuring one of the top offenses (Southwest Livingston) against one of the top defenses (Stanberry), the Bulldogs came out on top. But the Wildcats proved that they belong in the conversation. Stanberry's defense was impressive against an offense which had scored over 80 in its first two matchups. Stanberry's two-headed monster of Schieber and Stoll ran for over 100 yards again while Lake Crowe kept Southwest Livingston in the game with 170 yards. Stanberry maintained a 1-2 possession lead throughout.
#4 Hardin Central/Norborne 70, South Nodaway 7 -- Hardin Central is putting together the best team they've had since 2007, when they played the Tigers in the state championship and lost, or 2011, when they threw a scare into Stanberry in the quarterfinals before coming up short. Dan Collins is still looking for his first win as Longhorn coach.
#8 Rock Port 72, #5 Albany 26 -- What was billed as a good game wasn't. In a game broadcast on KAAN, Rock Port continued its resurgence by disposing of Albany, who now has to turn around and face Worth County in homecoming. The Tigers have not lost a homecoming tilt recently. After winning their first two in what was supposedly a rebuilding year, Albany has finally come back down to earth.
#6 Worth County 58, Mound City 12 -- The Panthers pulled out all the stops for this one, decorating the entire town and bringing in Worth County for homecoming. A victory would have echoed Worth County's 34-28 homecoming victory in overtime back in 2010. The stands were filled to overflowing with purple, just like when the Panthers were winning state titles. But Worth County had little trouble disposing of the Panthers.
#7 St. Joseph Christian 60, Nodaway/South Holt 21 -- The Spartans played respectable against Stanberry, but struggled again against the Lions and Matthew Corkins, who ran for 139 yards in the win. The Spartans took a lead early in the second, only for Christian to break their backs by scoring the last 26 points of the half.
#9 North-West Nodaway 80, #10 East Atchison 30 -- Homecoming was just what the doctor ordered for the Muskets, who built up a 54-22 first quarter lead and never looked back.
