Grass Range-Winnett and Chester-Joplin-Inverness both put up big points Saturday on their way to semifinal victories in the 6-Man football playoffs.

Led by Jace Bantz, Grass Range-Winnett cruised to a 72-20 win over Power-Dutton-Brady to clinch a championship-game berth, where it will host C-J-I, which routed Lincoln 61-22 in the day's other semifinal thanks to three touchdowns each from Cooper Streit and Levi Nelson.

Grass Range-Winnett, now 11-0, will be making its first title-game appearance. C-J-I, which improved to 10-1, is also making its first appearance in its current three-school co-op form. Joplin-Inverness was crowned state champs in 1982 and also played for the title in 2001. Chester, meanwhile, won the 1998 8-Man crown.
