Smith Center is a couple hours from Salina to the Northwest. This team has always been good and they are animals. They grow them big in that area and as can tell no one stands much of a chance against them. They haven't even been scored on this year. Maybe Chilly should give their coach a call and get some pointers from him.

Thought that was weird too. I figured they didn't have a kicker until later it said they went for FGs after stopping purposely at the 5. Its a pretty common tactic in HS football to go for 2 regularly because the kicking game is even more risky at that level (bad snap, hold, or kicks are common), but when you are crushing the opponent that much it brings question marks. Maybe he wasn't feeling sorry for them until after hitting 60-70 points or he was aware of the record for points in a quarter?
It is common in Kansas for 2A schools to go for the 2 points as they don't have the kickers. The higher the division they shy away from that so that didn't surprise me at all. I have read several articles about this coach and he is not the type to run up the score, the problem is they just have a team that will dominate everyone. They will have to see how they do next year as they are losing 19 of the players as they are seniors.
The Redmen are currently on a 50-game winning streak, and this year they've outscored their nine opponents by an average margin of 71-0 and a total score of 640-0. They have yet to punt.
