FLUSH — Another step on Rock Creek’s road to a state title tour took place Friday night, as the 10-0 squad avoided another knockout attempt, this one from Cheney. The Cardinals ruled the 2023 3A roost, and though Cheney landed the first jab on Friday, Rock Creek responded and then piled on consecutive scoring drives for a 14-7 sectional win in grind-it-out style.
Racking up points in almost outrageous fashion has become Rock Creek’s bread and butter. The Mustangs sport a 46-point average with quick bursts that pummel opponents into submission.
They charge hard, and six times during the 2025 football season went beyond the 40-point mark. Postseason football, though, hits differently on the Kansas plains. Seventh-year coach Shane Sieben knows that, among other wealth of stored knowledge, as he’s accumulated 47 victories in a short time at Rock Creek. Those wins, and a 3A substate bid.
