SULLY — There was plenty to cheer about for the Lynnville-Sully football team and its fans on Monday night, but one of the biggest ovations was from the team when it was reminded that it was only one game away from the UNI-Dome.

With an offense that was the picture of efficiency and a defense that remained in its recent lockdown mode, the Hawks breezed by district foe Montezuma, 41-0, to advance to the Class A playoffs quarterfinals.

The win was also the second of the season over Montezuma, with the total score between the two games being 62-0 in favor of the Hawks.
