The Coffeyville Red Ravens and head coach Nick Dobler are coming off a 31-19 victory over Ellsworth in a non-conference battle last Saturday.

The Red Ravens traveled seven hours to Iowa Falls, Iowa, to take on the Panthers and jumped out to an early 14-0 lead they would never relinquish on their way to a 12-point win, moving to 2-4 on the year.

The defense forced five total takeaways, including three interceptions and two fumbles, while not allowing an offensive touchdown in the final 30 minutes of the matchup. Dobler says his team stuck to the game plan, as the defensive line capitalized on sacks while Ellsworth was forced to go to the air while trailing late in the fourth quarter.

Dobler says his offense did a good job of finding a rhythm and responding in the third quarter with 10 straight points to build momentum, but penalties and turnovers derailed some of that steam, something the Red Ravens will continue to work on heading into Week 7.

Coffeyville will take on Butler tomorrow night in a Kansas Jayhawk Conference battle, as the Red Ravens look to move to 2-1 in conference play on the 25th anniversary of Veterans Memorial Stadium. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m., with kickoff set for 7 on US 98.
