The Ellinwood Eagles will square off against the Herington Railroaders at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Herington took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Ellinwood, who comes in off a win.
Ellinwood is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Friday. They claimed a resounding 32-0 win over Syracuse at home.
Ellinwood can attribute much of their success to Landon Simpson, who rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. Simpson also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making two total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging two interceptions which he returned one-yard for a touchdown.
Ellinwood's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Simpson and Kellan Behnke.
Meanwhile, Herington came up short against Marion on Friday, falling 46-20. The Railroaders were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 28-6.
