The North Central Kansas League suffered through a rough Football Friday night this past week as four of the NCKL schools went down in defeat in a week that saw none of the six schools go up against each other.

The Wamego Red Raiders, however, kept their undefeated season alive as they are secure upon the top of the 2022 football standings with a 5-0 overall record and 4-0 mark in the NCKL with only a showdown against Abilene in the final week of the regular season remaining for the Red Raider’s NCKL slate. The Concordia Panthers were the only other NCKL school to taste victory this past Friday night as the Panthers were able to defeat Hiawatha High School.
