Garden Plain has won six straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Conway Springs has won six straight on the road also dating back to last season, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Garden Plain Owls will host the Conway Springs Cardinals at 7:00 p.m. The two teams are strolling into their contests after big wins in their previous games.
Last Thursday, everything came up roses for Garden Plain at home against Trinity Academy as the squad secured a 49-14 victory. Given the Owls' advantage in MaxPreps' Kansas football rankings (they are ranked 43rd, while the Knights are ranked 169th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
This one was won in the trenches and the lion's share of the credit has to go to Emrick Hays and he. Hays rushed for 148 yards and three touchdowns while he rushed for 148 yards and three touchdowns. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in total yards. Another player making a difference was Brady Brack, who rushed for 11 yards and a touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Garden Plain was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 354 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 197 rushing yards in 11 consecutive games dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Conway Springs never let their opponents score on Friday. They blew past Nickerson, posting a 42-0 win at home. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Cardinals just coasted through the last quarter.
Isaac Winter had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 175 yards while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 57 yards. Backing up that air attack was Logan Osner, who rushed for 82 yards.
Garden Plain didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Conway Springs in their previous meeting back in August of 2023, but they still walked away with a 20-14 victory. Will Garden Plain repeat their success, or does Conway Springs have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
