SAVANNAH, Mo. (KQTV) - Our KQ2 High School Football Team of the Week from week 8 sponsored by Altec goes to the Savannah Savages.

In a clash of undefeated teams, Savannah, the #2 ranked team in Class 4, took down arch rival Maryville, the #2 team in Class 3 by the score of 40-21 last Friday night to keep the Highway 71 Trophy for one more season.

It's the first time ever that Savannah has beaten maryville in three straight seasons. It was a total team win, the offense put up points and the defense forced multiple Maryville turnovers.

The Savages all but assured the Midland Empire Conference title with the victory. Savannah gets to 8-0 on the year and will conclude the regular season on Friday, October 23rd hosting Excelsior Springs at 7 pm.
