The top three teams rolled this week, and Worth County did nothing to hurt its newfound status as the fourth ranked team in eight man football. The upset of the week was Mound City's 48-20 win over Rock Port. And Albany narrowly escaped one against Nodaway/South Holt. Worth County will take any 45-point game they will get, but there are no more weak teams for them to face.
#1 North Andrew 72, Stewartsville 0
Stewartsville was tabbed to be on the rise as the season started, but they fell hard to North Andrew in this halftime game.
#2 Stanberry 82, Sedalia Sacred Heart 26
Stanberry, despite the long drive and a long lightning delay, had little trouble disposing of Sedalia Sacred Heart by halftime.
#3 Southwest Livingston 80, Pattonsburg 0
Lake Crowe and Southwest Livingston had just as little trouble disposing of Pattonsburg. He had 21 carries for 326 yards in the victory.
#4 Worth County 62, #10 North-West Nodaway 14
The anticipated shootout between Worth County and North-West Nodaway did not materialize. Worth County set out to reestablish itself defensively after giving up 58 points to Albany and allowing its first four-quarter game this year. North-West still hasn't solved its defensive woes and killed two drives with penalties. The Tigers have solidified themselves as one of the teams to beat this year, while the Muskets have to regroup following this one.
Worth County was without quarterback Ben Badell, but it didn't matter as Brevyn Ross (269 yards) and Isaac Alarcon (174 yards) stepped up and carried the load for the Tigers. Alarcon is only a freshman and Dylan Mildfeldt showed that he will be a force in future years.
#6 Hardin-Central 50, #5 St. Joseph Christian 22
Another marquee matchup this week. Hardin Central was licking its wounds following its first defeat of the season, but they rose to the occasion and stopped the Lions. Rhyler Estenbaum rushed 23 times for 224 yards for Hardin-Central, which broke up a tight game in the third quarter. They were leading 20-14, but they outscored Christian 20-8 to take control. Jonathan Wing did all he could for Christian, getting 9 carries on 116 yards and scoring on three long touchdown runs to keep them in the game.
Mound City 48, #7 Rock Port 20
The upset of the week happened in Mound City. The Panthers were leading 14-8 when Ben Shifflett ran wild in a 26 point third quarter, ripping off runs of 50, 53, and 42 yards. The shell-shocked Bluejays, who lost Brady Minter for the year with an injury, could not respond and Mound City came away with the victory. Shifflett also threw for a long pass in the second quarter to put them up for good. Caden Linthicum did all he could for Rock Port; he ran for 141 yards and caught for 60 more.
#8 Albany 44, Nodaway-South Holt 42
Another near-upset was posted in Graham as Allen Ottman threw for 196 yards and Brody Day ran for 101 more as the Spartans built up a 36-22 lead in the third quarter. But Albany rode Seth Cline's back as he scored two touchdowns to tie it up at 36 going into the fourth quarter. Nodaway-South Holt scored to take a 42-36 lead, but Cline threw a pass to Caden Wilson for a four yard score and then converted a pass to Wilson for the victory. Cline ran for 164 yards for Albany.
Appleton City 68, #9 Greenfield 44
Greenfield posted two wins, but lost to an Arkansas rival.
