Flatonia Rolls Past 2021 State Runner-Up

What a difference a year makes.

Last season Falls City beat Flatonia 36-0 and the Beavers marched all the way to the state finals.

This season it was payback for Flatonia as the Bulldogs dominated Falls City 42-14.

Fidel Venegas threw for 276 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for two scores.

Dayton Cliffe also ran for two touchdowns and those TD receptions were caught by Jaidyn Guyton (a 85-yarder) and Keegan Green (a 91-yarder).

Meanwhile, the Flatonia defense limited Falls City to just 149 yards of total offense.

Flatonia is now 3-1 as they head into a district opener at home versus Thrall Friday. Thrall is 1-3 with their only victory coming against Somerville. Last week Thrall lost to Lexington 66-12.
