As calendars flip to a new month, a whole new season of Football begins. Now teams must win to keep playing.
Class 3A joins the two Eight Man divisions on starting their playoffs on Tuesday night. For the Hoisington Cardinals, they started their playoff hopes with a matchup against the Lakin Broncs.
Hoisington’s Defense established itself quickly and only surrendered one touchdown in the first half, and another in the second half. By the time Lakin tallied their final points, the Cardinals held firm to the control of the game finishing with a 56 to 13 score.
Hoisington now travels on Saturday to Norton for their next round of the 3A Football Playoffs.
