CBC holds off late Rockhurst rally to claim Class 6 football title. Mound City returns to the top of 8-man

CBC repeated as Class 6 state champs with a 45-21 victory of Rockhurst Saturday at Faurot Field in Columbia. The Cadets got a much better effort from the Hawklets after an early season 35-point drubbing. After jumping out to a 21-0 lead, CBC saw their lead cut to 21-14 at the half. Rockhurst closed again to 28-21 with just under 12 minutes left in the third quarter.

CBC quarterback Brett Gabbert, the younger brother of former Mizzou and NFL QB Blaine Gabbert, threw for four touchdowns and 311 yards. He’s committed to playing college ball at Miami of Ohio.

Rockhurst, a perennial Missouri High School powerhouse, has now gone eight years without a state title. Longtime Rockhurst head coach Tony Severino has not announced if he will return in 2019 for his 37th season.
