Plowboys Hammer Yellowhammers 53-7

Collin Smith scores the first of many Plowboy TDs against Rotan.

The Roscoe Plowboys laid waste to the Rotan Yellowhammers at Plowboy Field last night, raising their district record to 3-2, which is good enough for them to make the playoffs for yet another year.  The final score was 53-7, and it could have been worse.    

Rotan’s first mistake was winning the coin toss and electing to defer to the second half.  The Plowboys received the opening kickoff, and Cody Graham returned it sixty yards all the way to the Rotan three yard line.  On the next play Collin Smith carried the ball into the end zone, and Roscoe took the lead 7-0.  

Following the ensuing kickoff, Roscoe forced Rotan to punt and almost immediately scored another touchdown when Caden Smith hit Anthony Castor on a perfectly thrown 40-yard pass.  By the end of the first quarter, the score was 19-0, and the rout was on.  The halftime score was 33-0, and at the end of three quarters it was 53-0.  

By winning, the Plowboys make the playoffs, earning the right to play at least another week.  Their opponent next Friday will be the Munday Moguls, who beat Archer City last night 32-20.  The Moguls defeated the Plowboys earlier this year in Munday 31-0.
