Hoisington High School's football team took its first step into the Class 3A District 15 schedule.
The Cardinals, who have been riding a winning streak dating back to Week 2, did not disappoint.
Hoisington hosted the 3-3 Ellsworth and decimated them 60-6.
That gave the Cardinals 21 points toward the points system and the lead in the district standings.
The points system works to make a decision in case of a tie in record.
Each team can earn or lose points depending on the point spread of each district game.
Each team can earn or lose a maximum of 21 points.
Hoisington defeated Ellsworth by more than 21 points, so Hoisington gained 21 points and the Bearcats have minus-21 points.
Lyons defeated Sterling by 12 points, 34-22. Lyons is in second place in the standings at 1-0 with 12 points.
Sterling is in third place at 0-1 with minus-12.
 
Central Plains 50, Ellinwood 0
Again, all roads to the end zone leads through quarterback Braeden Crites for Central Plains.
Or at least most of them.

Layne Bieberle had the other receiving touchdown and 159 yards. He also returned a punt 62 yards for a score.
