Brookville, KS- November 7, 2025
The Ell-Saline Cardinals battled the Madison Bulldogs in the 8-Player D1, regional playoff matchup that showcased determination, grit, and a determination to bring home the "W".
From the opening kickoff, Ell-Saline's defense set the tone with aggressive tackles and key stops, while the offense found rhythm behind a strong running game and timely passes. After falling to Madison last year, the Cardinals came out with one thing on their mind. Redemption. A fire was lit and that flame never dimmed. The atmosphere was electric, filled with community pride and playoff energy.
