Southwest Roughriders Gallop Past Broncos

The Southwest Roughriders traveled to Wauneta to take on the Wauneta-Palisade Broncos in a district contest on Friday night.  Wauneta-Palisade would score the first touchdown of the night to start the game with a 40-yard touchdown pass to take the early lead before Southwest would answer with two consecutive scores before Wauneta-Palisade would answer again.  Back and forth the game would go until a safety accord to give Southwest a ten-point lead which would then eventually lead to a victory for Southwest 37-25.  Southwest improves to 3-1 on the year and Wauneta-Palisade slides to 1-3.  Southwest will return to action next Friday hosting Arthur County and Wauenta-Palisade will travel to Wallace on Thursday in a game carried on Coyote Country 105.3.
