 Can you believe it? It's week eight of the high school football season. And for the Brainerd Warriors, how big was that win at Moorhead Friday? Well, they're all alone at the top of the section. And with a win tonight, a first round buy for playoffs. Also means another game at Warriors Stadium. Just need to beat Sartel, St. Stephen tonight. They were hungry from the kickoff. Joe Stolzky under center. He'll take it himself and goes all the way. Touchdown Warriors. That'll be a common theme for the night. Also stout defensively. Max Zimmerman forces the fumble here. Warriors jump on it and take over the next drive. It's that guy, Charlie Gares. He finds Pater and the home team is smelling that buy. And finally, it's Devin Stuckey in the backfield. And he takes the carry-on zone for six more. Warriors are your top seed for section 85A. They end the regular season with a shutout win, 54 to nothing. Lumberjacks with their regular season home finale tonight hosting St. Cloud Tech. They have themselves a gigantic weapon outside. Six, seven go for commit Breven Spanford. To throw it in his area and he'll do the rest. Just a tower. Bemidji, they have a pretty good receiver of their own, Ryan Beberdorf. This one from Jake Beberge. He somehow comes down with it and cuts it to two scores. But when you have Spanford, it's just tough to defend. Couple seconds before half, this one the killer over the defender for six more. Bemidji drops the finale, but they're back into action for the playoffs next week against Sartel, St. Stephen, round one at home. Big match up in nine man, number three, Stephen Argyle at number nine, Nevis. Storm come out ready to play on the road. Stony Spildy breaks loose to the secondary. Down the sidelines to the house, 12 nothing visitors, but Tigers would respond. Jack DeWolf finds Thomas Whirly on the outside. Big game and Nevis is inside the red zone and a couple plays later, DeWolf. He'll call his own number. Makes a couple guys miss. Into the end zone for the touchdown in and out of traffic. All Tigers after this, how about this win to end the regular season? 42-20 over number three. They finish seven and one on the year. A section eight two-way battle, Warroad at Bagley, first quarter, warriors driving, but a bad pitch. Ball is loose, Flyers jump on it. They can't take advantage next drive for it. Rollers finally breaks through second quarter. Spencer Musgrove breaks loose up the middle and they're threatening inside the 20 and then later in the drive, Tristan Johnson, he's gonna take it himself. The QB sneak breaks the playing for the score. Warriors hold on in the second half, 13-8. They finish the season seven and one. Royalton number 10 this week in two-way. They close the season with KMS, first quarter we go. Warriors, Royals driving early. Riley Smajia takes it in to give them the seven nothing lead, the next Royalton drive. It's Cole Wetland, the handoff. He'll take it 64 yards for the easy touchdown. Royals just piling it on early with two impressive drives. The offense, a well-oiled machine. Then Gavin Suska, he'll take the snap later, drops back and finds Zach Gottwald over the middle, tallied in for six more in the score book. All Royalton in this one 35 nothing to end their regular season. Finally, Grand Rapids looking for their third win tonight at Duluth, Denfell, late second quarter, Thunderhawks up two scores. Play action, but Brennan Moreland's pass is picked by Avante Williams, what a catch. Even Hurdles a defender on the return with the ensuing drive with Stahl, Grand Rapids and goes back to work in the third little defense of their own. Eric Steer says I'll take that and an escort to the end zone for a pick six. Thunderhawk Cruz on the road in the finale 27-7 is your final.
