Some additional facts that Cow Bell didn’t include. I was at the game Friday night. When it was 77-0 with 1:30 to go in 1st half and Lburg got the ball back after another Rushville fumble, they could have knelt on it and went to half up 77. First play, they rolled QB out and threw back across field for a screen play, which went for TD butwas called back due to penalty. Lburg scored next play. 2nd half, Lburg did continue to throw the ball with their younger players and did go for it on multiple fourth downs. I would call those three things over the top and more than trying to just get the game over. I will leave everyone else to judge that with their own opinion. That is Coach Knigga’s decision to make and he has built a hell of a program. Honestly, the score could have been worse and it could have been managed to be a little bit more eye appealing to people, but the game was never going to be close. I actually expected a score of around 70-0. With that said, you won’t hear much crying from this poster. It’s our job to get better at Rushville. We are in the cusp of a rebuild that will take multiple years. We have a new young coach willing to work hard. New weight room opened 3 years ago and he has best numbers in weight room we have seen in years and the progression in the last 12 months in there has been astronomical. JV has won 2 games for first time in several years as well. 7th grade team is very competitive. Varsity was dealt a tough blow in week 1 when 3 year starting QB and 3 year staring center were lost for the season with injuries. Friday night they played without I believe 5 additional starters including leading rusher and best defensive player. Could it have been handed better? Definitely. But there was no reason to not play the game.
