Fergus Falls managed only 26 rushing yards on Thursday night in Cold Spring as the Rocori Spartans shut down the Otter offense on the way to a 23-0 victory in the season opener for both teams.

Rocori scored a pair of first half touchdowns with the first coming on a 14 yard run by Brady Linn and a Jack Steil run for the two-point conversion.  Their second TD came when they blocked an Otter punt and recovered the ball in the end zone.  Steil then hit Andrew Anderson to put the two-point conversion play on the board, making the score 16-0.

In the second half the Spartans finished the scoring with a 6 yard run by Steil and a PAT kick by Christian Rodriguez.

"We lacked explosive plays on offense and defensively we had moments of playing good football, and moments of not tackling very well," said Head Coach Steve Olson.

Quarterback Ethan Olson completed 17-of-31 passes for 122 yards.  Brock Kotschevar was his favorite target, hauling in four passes for 58 yards.
