COLFAX, IL — Under the Friday night lights at Ridgeview High School, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Senior night. A packed crowd. And the Heart of Illinois Medium Division title hanging in the balance.

The GCMS Falcons delivered a performance that matched the moment, overpowering the Ridgeview Mustangs 55-27 in a game that showcased speed, grit, and championship-caliber execution. With the win, GCMS locked in a 7-2 regular season record and a perfect 4-0 mark in division play, securing the title outright.

From the opening kickoff, GCMS dictated tempo. Their offense churned out sustained drives, while the defense kept Ridgeview’s playmakers in check. Ridgeview, celebrating its seniors in front of a spirited home crowd, showed flashes of resilience but couldn’t match the Falcons’ relentless pace.

The Mustangs entered the night with hopes of a title-clinching upset, but GCMS’s balanced attack and disciplined execution proved too much. As the final whistle blew, the Falcons stood tall — not just as victors of the night, but as champions of the division.

This win marks a defining moment in GCMS’s season, setting the tone for postseason play and reinforcing their reputation as one of Central Illinois’s most formidable programs.
