It was a 1-vs.-2 showdown in 6-Man between top-ranked Denton-Geyser-Stanford-Geraldine and Chester-Joplin-Inverness, but it wasn't much of a contest after the first quarter.

D-G-S-G marked its territory as the classification's top team in the early portion of the season with an 86-36 rout on the road. The Bearcats capitalized on three forced fumbles and Tyce Smith went haywire with six all-purpose TDs in the first half.

Smith scored for the Bearcats to put D-G-S-G ahead 20-14 in the second quarter, then Smith later hit Myllymaki with a TD pass to make the score 26-14.
