The last few weeks have been extremely successful for the boys Varsity Football team. Ending their conference play with a record of seven wins and only one loss the team will advance to Section play-offs. The team was named Co- Conference Champions along with St. Michael Albertville and Rogers. They are also now ranked 7th in the State for 5AAAAA.
“It seemed that lots of people doubted us at the beginning of the season, and we’ve been able to prove them wrong. That has just made all of our success even more exciting, it’s just cool seeing all the hard work paying off, ” said Senior Captain Ben Hensen.
The team had come through many obstacles including injuries, illness, and even having a key player penalized by not being able to play one game. However, they were able to push through these events and emerge as a stronger, more focused team.
“We’re trying to keep the season going as long as possible. Hopefully we’ll show what we can do in Sections and keep winning through them,” said Senior Buzz Tryggeseth.
Their success has given them a bye for the first round of sections, along with a home game. They will play against an undetermined team at 2 o’clock on October 31st at Cummings Field.
