ELLSWORTH -- The Ellsworth Bearcats whipped the Knights of Sacred Heart, 23-14, in the Homecoming game at Shanelec Field in Ellsworth.
It was a costly win, as running back and place kicker Kaden Davis was lost for the season due to an arm injury.
CLAFLIN --- The second-ranked 2A Central Plains Oilers were far too powerful for arch-rival St. John-Hudson, winning 62-0 by the end of the second quarter in the Homecoming game at Claflin.
The O-men scored 20 points in the first 30 seconds of the game.
NATOMA --- The Wilson Dragons junior varsity was defeated 64-19 in a six-man football game against the Tigers in Natoma.
The game does not count against the Dragon’s 8-man Division II varsity season record.
