 Well, it was a big weekend in high school football from our area. Four teams playing the state semifinals at US Bank Stadium. Nevis, they're already in Brainerd. They're looking to get back to the prep over the first time since 2013. The Warrior faithful traveled well. Students all fired up for the class 5A semifinal. But second play of scrimmage, Oatana strikes big. Abe Hoveka finds Dalton Kubiska. 51-yard pitch and catch. Warriors already trailing early, but the offense starts to click in the third. Joel Stolsky to Charlie Gaird. It's the easy six points. That'll cut it to eight. And second half, Max Zimmerman takes the handoff and barrels into the end zone. They get as close as three possessions. But the Huskies air attack had themselves a game. Hoveka to Alex Reichle this time. Takes the screen all the way to the house. Hoveka 453 yards and seven touchdowns in the air. The Warrior season comes to an end in the semifinals. They fall 59-34 to Oatana. It wasn't one of our better nights of the past defense, but we sure played the run well. I thought we played it very well. Kind of a crazy game in a way. Once we got our footing offensively, then defensively they made some plays and they're a nice team.
