 Well, welcome to another Friday night lights and the smell of fall is in the air. And for Verndale and Rasse, also the smell of an undefeated season. Both teams scoring over 50 points a game and both defense is keeping their opponents under 15. Something's gotta give. Pirates on top of section four ranked seventh in state. Tigers lead section six ranked 11th. Do I need to say more? Key for Verndale is stopping this guy Wyatt Curtis. Already 908 yards rushing 18 touchdowns in four games. They bottom up here though in the backfield. Curtis eventually though would find the end zone later opening drive. His 19th score of the season. Tigers take the first lead of the game. Pirates wouldn't take long to respond though. Mack Jones, he'll find Luke Weniger for the easy six. We're all tied up at six and Verndale takes the lead in the second quarter. Jones again. This time takes himself in the end zone for the score. Verndale all in this 152. The final so big win for them. Pears they're looking to move to five and oh hosting Eden Valley Watkins. How about the Pioneer defense? Taylor Marshick leading the charge slams the back down here for a big loss and Pears finally gets on the board second quarter. Handoff goes to Jalen Jansen. He takes it all the way for the Pioneer touchdown. Ties the game up at six. The offense then keeps rolling. Next drive it's Jansen. Again you can't stop him. He goes in for six more. All peers in this one 50 to 12. The final. Grand Rapids on the road tonight at undefeated Cloquette. First play of the game. Lumberjack's Tim Pokornowski finds a wide open. Asan Maygag for the six for six. Baton seven nothing. Thunderlocks though cut into it later. Brody home direct snap. Barrels in for the score but Cloquette too much tonight. Pokornowski to Mitchell Gerlach. This time deep for the touchdown. They would win this one 49-28 over the Thunderhawks. Greenway Nashua Kiwan also on the road tonight in two harbors. Home team up 14 nothing. Spencer Ross adds to the lead. Shakes off a few. Tackles in for the score. Extends lead to 21. Then later in the half it's Ross again. The shifty spin move. Get out of the way. Turns on the jets to the house. Down the sidelines. All two harbors in this one. 42 to nothing.
