The Victoria Knights advanced to the sub-state round of the 8-Man Division 2 playoffs Saturday with a 46-0 win over the Minneola Wildcats.

Victoria scored on their first two possessions of the game; scoring on a four-yard touchdown run by Lane Kisner and Joe Dortland added a one-yard run to put the Knights up 16-0 after the first quarter.

The Knights offense struggled toward the end of the first quarter and into the second allowing a sack and a fumble. But late in the second quarter Joe Dortland scored his second rushing touchdown of the first half, an 11-yard run to put Victoria up 22-0.

Then after forcing the Wildcats to punt with just over one minute to play in the first half the Knights drew up a double-pass from Dortland to Brady Dinkel who hit Parker Riedel for a 60-yard touchdown catch to give the Knights a 30-0 halftime lead.

Victoria got the opening kickoff of the second half and Collin Kisner returned the kick 60 yards for a touchdown, putting the Knights up 38-0. On their second possession of the third quarter they went to the bag of tricks again with Dinkel hitting Grant Weber on a 29-yard touchdown on a halfback pass. The two point conversion gave the Knights the win with 8:43 left in the third quarter.

Dinkel was 2-for-2 passing for 88 yards and two touchdowns. Dortland finished with 34 yard and two rushing touchdowns.

The Knights move to 10-0 and for a second straight season Victoria advances to the sub-state championship round of the playoffs. They will face the winner of Ingalls and Wallace County.
