RALLS — Even before the season started, an Oct. 15 date at Ralls stood out like a sore thumb on the Roscoe football schedule. 

If the Plowboys were to challenge for the District 5-2A DII championship, facing the league favorite Jackrabbits was going to be a must-win situation. 

Roscoe answered the bell on Friday night, handing Ralls a 26-14 loss in front of its home crowd, in a physical, somewhat chippy Big Country Preps Game of the Week.
