 The Caney Valley Bullpups advance in Week 9 action by taking care of the Galena Bulldogs 44-12 at Caney Memorial Stadium.

 The Caney defense held on to a "bend but don't break" mentality throughout the 1st half, giving up yards but only giving up one touchdown in the 2nd quarter; a touchdown pass from QB Chase Cottrell to tight end Isaiah Farfan. Galena would score their 2nd TD late in the 4th quarter.

 Wet field conditions caused problems for both teams, including the Bullpups, as they turned the ball over twice in the 1st half, including a bad exchange on the 3-yard line.

 It was back to basics for the Pups in the 2nd half, as the O-Line was able to provide great blocks, leading to big runs by Traxcyn Garton, Jace Buckley, and sophomore Konner Paulie.

 Caney, 8-1 on the season, will host the regional round of the playoffs next Friday against Riverton or Cherryvale.

Field Kindley wrapped up the regular season with a 48-6 loss to Fort Scott. Despite the loss the Nado were able to find the endzone ending their 27 straight scoreless quarters streak on a Kobi Kirk 14 yard touchdown run.

Coffeyville now heads on the road to face number one seed Eudora. Head Coach Deonta Wade says this reminds him off their playoff matchup with KC Piper his second year here.

The Nado finished the season 0-8 and the 16 seed, with Eudora finishing 7-1 and the one seed. Pregame starts at 6:45pm and kickoff is at 7:00pm on Sonshine 98.9 KQQF.

The Red Ravens have high expectations this season, being projected to win the KJCCC and beginning the season ranked in the Top 10 in the nation. Thomas says this year's group doesn't take any days off.

Thomas scored a career-high 17 points in a win over Southwestern JV last season, and scored 15 in a win over Cloud County. Kaason and the Ravens open the season on Saturday night at 7 p.m. CT from Nellis Hall.

The season opener for the Lady Ravens is just two days away, and KGGF continues the player profile series with returning sophomore guard Hallie Kitchen.

CCC Head Coach Nick Dobler says Ellsworth is progressing as a program.

It will be sophomore day for the Red Ravens, as well as Veterans Appreciation Day. Dobler says it's an opportunity to make one last memory at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Coverage of Coffeyville and Ellsworth begins Saturday at 12:30 p.m. CT with kickoff at 1 on both US 98 and the Red Raven Sports Network.

 History repeats itself tonight in Caney as the Galena Bulldogs come to town for week 9 action, but the consequences of a loss are far different than two weeks ago. Caney defeated the Dogs two weeks ago 48-6, but a loss tonight ends the season for either team.

 Coach Criss David says the schedule says week 9, but the Bullpup mindset says it's a brand new season.

 Davis credits the defense for their in-game adjustments against Riverton last week, saying that aspect of the ball makes it easier to stop an opposing team's offense.

 Jace Buckley and Traxcyn Garton rushed for 259 yards and 2 TDs against the Bulldogs two weeks ago; they'll look to replicate that performance tonight.

 Pregame starts around 6:20, with kickoff at 7:00 on PupNation on YouTube and U-S 98.

 The winner of this game will face the winner of Cherryvale / Riverton.

Pehrson will be among the top 3-point shooters on the team this season, and also plays strong defense at multiple positions. Bella and the Lady Ravens tip off the season on Saturday night at Nellis Hall.
