Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Round Valley walked away with it. They never let the Crismon Rattlers get on the board and left with a 42-0 victory on Friday. The Elks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by 24 points or more this season.

Round Valley's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Kage Finch, who rushed for ten yards and two scores, and also threw for 72 yards and one TD. The dominant performance also gave Finch a new career-high in passer rating (177.1). Jaxon Crick was in the mix too, providing Round Valley with one touchdown.

Round Valley didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Jeffery Cochran and Joah Brown. Cochran is on a roll when it comes to interceptions, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played. Brown got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.

The win was the seventh in a row for Round Valley, bringing their record up to 11-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 43.1 points over those games. As for Crismon, their loss dropped their record down to 7-5.

Coming up, Round Valley will challenge Valley Christian at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Elks will need to watch out since the Trojans have now posted at least 31 points in their last three contests. Crismon does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
