Goessel football team one victory away from state playoffs

Goessel High School defeated Burlingame, Friday, 49-0.

The Bluebirds nearly ended the game at halftime by virtue of the 45-point "mercy" rule, leading 43-0.

The second half kickoff was returned for a touchdown and the game ended with the first play in the second half.

A victory against Hartford Thursday will secure a spot for the Bluebirds in the bi-district game Tuesday.

Hartford comes to Goessel for this game with the same district record as the Bluebirds 3-1, with the winner going on to play Tuesday and the loser's season coming to an end.
