Stanberry runs past Nodaway-Holt
STANBERRY, Mo. — Even after a plodding first half, Stanberry running back Conner Rosier had a feeling his Bulldogs were due for a big play or two.
His premonition proved correct shortly after the intermission, as Stanberry quickly ran away from Nodaway Holt — 40-18 — during Friday night’s 8-man quarterfinal contest in Stanberry.
It took the Bulldogs only one kickoff and two offensive plays from scrimmage to put two scores on the board and establish an all-but insurmountable lead. Stanberry then used a dominant rushing attack to chew up much of the clock and earn a second-straight trip to the semifinals.
