It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Sidney had no problem doing just that on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Fort Calhoun Pioneers 46-16. The Red Raiders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matchups by 20 points or more this season.

On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Sidney's defense and their three sacks. Zech Roggasch was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself.

Fort Calhoun's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Eli Tinkham, who picked up 87 receiving yards and one score, and Kaiden Rodriguez, who rushed for 49 yards and one touchdown. Tinkham didn't just play on offense: he also forced one fumble and made four total tackles (2.0 for loss).

Sidney pushed their record up to 11-0 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. As for Fort Calhoun, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-3.

Coming up, Sidney will face off against Lakeview on Friday. The Vikings' defense has only allowed 9.2 points per game this season, so the Red Raiders' offense will have their work cut out for them. Fort Calhoun does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
