The Roscoe Plowboys’ hopes for playoff success were decisively dashed at Jim Ned Stadium in Tuscola Thursday night. They got off on the wrong foot against a strong Munday team and were never able to recover.
The Plowboys received the opening kickoff but were stopped on downs and had to punt. Munday then moved down the field for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. On the following kickoff, the Plowboy returner fumbled the ball and the Moguls recovered on the 21-yard line. After a short drive, they scored again and went up 14-0, which is where the score remained until the end of the first quarter.
Munday began the second quarter with a 15-yard run for another TD. After the extra point, the score was 21-0, and things only went downhill for the Plowboys from there. By halftime the score was 42-8, making the second half essentially meaningless. The final score was 49-14 with the principal highlight of the evening for the Plowboys a 61-yard touchdown run by Caden Smith.
The Plowboys’ football season is now over while Munday moves on in the playoffs to face Iraan next week.
