If the Blair Oaks Falcons are going to win tonight's Class 2 regional game on the road against Clopton/Elsberry, it's pretty simple figuring out what that rides on - stop Scott Kroeger.

That's because the 5-foot-11, 175-pound senior quarterback has put up some staggering numbers this season.

How staggering? Try 2,858 yards passing and 1,295 rushing for 4,153 yards all by himself.

Or, if you like, 18 yards more than the entire Blair Oaks offense so far this season.
