 It's always a battle when Bemidji and Brainerd meet up on the football field and tonight was no different. Adding to the excitement, snow falling on a September night and the first ever battle for the bell. Homecoming matchup for Bemidji, Brainerd looking for four in a row against the Lumberjacks. In the first quarter, the usual connection Jacob Beiberg to Ryan Beiberdorf. For the long grab, he would come up with a snag here, but he would get chased down at the end, down at the two yard line. In the second half of the season, Beiberg on the keeper crosses the goal line for the touchdown, but the P.A.T. is no good, keep that in mind. 6-0 Bemidji jump all the way to the fourth quarter, same score. Brainerd driving the keeper to Sam Mellor. He scores from four out and they take a 7-6 lead. Bemidji driving 2-30 left, fourth and 13 Beiberdorf with the reception. A big first down on that fourth down later in the drive. The reverse to James William lowers his score as Bemidji takes a 12-7 lead and would hold on to take the bell. Bemidji moves to four and one on the year. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
