And just like that, the regular season is over. Quincy, Moline, Sterling, and Geneseo have done what was needed to get to play one more week.
Quincy 42 @ Capital City (MO) 31: Quincy finally got punched in the mouth a few times, but showed they were ready by punching back. Capital City gave Quincy everything it could handle and more, but the #1 ranked team in 7A pulled it out in the end. A game Quincy needed going into the postseason where some heavyweights await.
Sterling 31 @ Moline 45: Offense was the name of the game in this one. Moline never trailed in this game, but they could never make Sterling go away. Both teams will play a week 10 game next week. Moline has been looking strong since it lost week 4 to Quincy. For Sterling, this is the best the offense has looked all season and for the team with a lot of young starters, and extra week will pay off down the road.
Geneseo 34 @ Rock Island 13: Geneseo slowly grinds down the Rocks and pulls away in the second half to get their 5th win of the season. Geneseo also forced 4 turnovers and had a goal line stand. Back to the drawing board over the off season for this Rocks football team as they end the season with only 1 win.
Galesburg 14 @ United Township 40: Galesburg would strike first after a muffed UT punt catch, but then UT would go off for the next 40 points and put this one to bed by the 4th quarter. UT will finish a frustrating 4-5 with 3 of those losses being 3 point or less losses. Galesburg will finish 1-8.
BONUS!
Monmouth-Roseville 21 @ Sterling Newman 0: Despite the closeness of the score, MR controlled this game from start to finish. MR held Newman to under 100 years of offense and allowed only 1 play of double digit yards.
Rock Falls 32 @ Winnebago 35: And the Bago is your Thunderdome winner!
