PAWNEE 66, QUAPAW 28

Pawnee routed Quapaw to continue its quest for the Class A state championship. The Bears have been ranked in the Top 5 most of the season.

Quarterback Blake Skidgel generated only 99 yards total offense, low for him. Skidgel did score four of the Pawnee touchdowns. But Stevenson and Trevor Mitchell combined for 250 more rushing yards and four additional touchdowns.

To show how complete the devastation was, Quapaw was behind three touchdowns before it had run its third offensive play.

Pawnee is now 8-1 on the year and has won eight consecutive games. The Bears will host Colcord next Friday.
