 A young life cut short was remembered at the Cass Lake being a football game against Ada Borup recently. Just a few days after Ada Borup's Carter Peterson passed away, his football team played an emotional game against Cass Lake who wanted to honor him in a unique way. Malmeyer has more from Cass Lake. Carter Peterson died on October 16th when he was driving on Highway 9. A driver hit him at the intersection and his car flipped, setting it on fire. He died at 16 years old. Peterson played for the Ada Borup High School football team. Before last week's game against the Cougars, the Panthers had an idea. The Native American culture here at the school is great and they have a lot of tradition of honoring and celebrating life and they wanted to bring that over to Ada. Before the game, players presented the Peterson family with a birch bark basket, wild rice, and maple syrup as a simple offering that had a lasting impact. That's a huge part of our culture and we're showing them our respect. Members of the team also participated in an honors song for Peterson while donning his number on their helmets. It was something pretty special. It was probably the number one thing I probably remember in my high school career. Since then, players from both teams have created a special bond. We're kind of following each other a lot more and closer we've connected through Facebook and other social media such as that and just keep in tabs on each other saying good luck every once in a while.
