They opened the Sub-State tournament with a 52-32 win over Doniphan West and then would defeat Horton on the road 64-51 in the semifinals. 

Rossville started their season off at 4-1 with the lone loss in that stretch against Sacred Heart. They would lose two of their next three games to Hiawatha and Perry-Lecompton before rattling off three straight wins to win the Valley Falls mid-season tournament. 

Since the start of Feb., Rossville has won eight of 11 games with their only losses coming against Abilene, Silver Lake, and St. Marys in that stretch. 

Rossville has five seniors on their roster with Tayson Horak, Mahki Jackson, Brock Bush, Kameron Badura, and Will Koch.
