ROCKTON, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) — The Hononegah Indians were trying to do something they haven’t done since 1996 on Saturday afternoon, and that’s make a trip to the state semifinals in class 7A.
But the road to Normal gets a lot tougher when you have to take on a perennial playoff team like Batavia. The Bulldogs traveled to Rockton to faceoff in a quarterfinal matchup.
Just four snaps into the game, Batavia popped off a 48-yard touchdown run and that set the tone for what we’d see the rest of the way. Hononegah’s season comes to an end with a 55-14 loss.
Cole Warren went 22-42 for 260 yards and one touchdown.
Hononegah couldn’t get their run game going, only rushing for 23 yards, while the Bulldogs put up 247.
