For the second time this season, two of the most successful programs in Kansas eight-man football history met on the field in Little River. For Little River, this was expected. For the Victoria Knights, it was a chance to show off the vast improvement the young squad had made. Little River came into the game bruised and wounded, setting up the potential for a huge upset.
Little River wanted no part of that storyline to come to fruition. Redskin quarterback Nash Look would lead a mix of starters and key substitutes to the same offensive flurry Little River has shown all year in a 54-8 victory that ended right after the halftime break. With Jaren Garrison and Jhet Every hobbled and limited to the defensive side of the ball. Look would find the end zone three times, and spread the ball among five different Redskins to score.
Little River jumped out to an early 16-0 lead, but Victoria would cut the lead with a 56-yard touchdown run from Weston Scherrer. After Little River pushed the lead to 24-8 to open the second quarter, the teams traded punts before two straight Victoria drives would end in turnovers to give Little River a short field and easy touchdown drives. The score stood at 48-8 into the halftime break. Logan Schubert would end the game by taking the opening kickoff of the second half 75 yards to the end zone.
Victoria finishes the season 6-5. Little River improves to 10-1 and will head to Jetmore to face Hodgeman County in the substate round.
