SULLY — Gavin Fisk rushed for more than 100 yards, Matthew Mintle registered two pick 6s and the Lynnville-Sully football team snagged six interceptions on defense during a 48-7 home win over Martensdale-St. Marys on Friday.

The Hawks led the Class A District 6 contest 27-0 after one quarter and secured a playoff berth following the triumph.

Lynnville-Sully can clinch the No. 3 seed in the district with a win over Central Decatur in Week 8 or a Wayne loss against Madrid.
