Stanberry Turns Back Pattonsburg; Wolves Finally Stop Rock Port

#1 Worth County 58, #8 King City 28
A much more stable week in the rankings. King City was a much better football team than they showed against Pattonsburg the week before, but Worth County got over 200 yards from Caleb Parman to get the win.

#2 Stanberry 84, #4 Pattonsburg 46
This game was as good as advertised. Stanberry took a big early lead thanks to its punishing ground game in Trey Schieber and Cole Durbin. Then, Pattonsburg came back with a frantic rally, wiping out nearly all of a one-time 30-12 deficit and closing to within 36-34 in the third quarter. But then Stanberry reestablished control and pulled away for the win, getting some timely stops along the way.

There were a lot of penalties on both teams, with Stanberry racking up 105 yards in penalties, while Pattonsburg had 70 yards in penalties. For Pattonsburg, Steven Willhite completed 32 of his 55 passing attempts for 489 yards and six scores. Cameron Jones had 14 catches for 172 yards, while Dakota Eaton had 7 catches for 156 yards and Trevor Ireland had 6 catches for 96 yards.
Stanberry’s two-headed monster racked up a ton of yards, as Trey Schieber had 29 carries for 217 yards and Cole Durbin added 21 carries for 278 yards.

#3 Mound City 46, North/West Nodaway 0
The Muskets completed the Rock Port/Mound City gauntlet, falling in halftime. They made some good defensive plays, but struggled moving the ball. They had a pair of eight yard runs, one from Tyler Bix and one from Dylan Carden. They had a pair of pass completions from Carden to Bix, one for 24 yards and one for 13 yards. Bix ran back a kickoff for 34 yards. That was it, as the Muskets were held to 30 yards in total offense.

The Muskets forced a pair of turnovers, with Dalton Smyser recovering a fumble caused by Wyatt Ingraham and Smyser adding a pick. As a team, they had four tackles for loss.

#5 East Atchison 44, #6 Rock Port 28
East Atchison beat Rock Port for the first time ever since both teams went to eight man. The Wolves took a 44-12 lead going into the fourth before holding off a late Rock Port rally to win. It was a good defensive struggle, with the Wolves getting 288 yards and Rock Port 275. Briacin Bywater ran 23 times for 152 yards for the Wolves, while Gavin Abbott had 25 carries for 122 yards for the Blue Jays.

#7 Southwest Livingston 62, Stewartsville 14
Mack Anderson and Southwest Livingston got back on the winning track and cruised to an easy victory over the Cardinals. Anderson ran 9 times for 219 yards and threw for another 129 yards. Wyatt Maddux added a pick six. Stewartsville was able to move the ball through the air, as Cain Rush completed 15 of 26 passes for 158 yards. But they could not move on the ground, only getting five yards.
