“Mahnomen-Waubun was able to control the line of scrimmage as they controlled the ball and the scoreboard,” commented Pelican Rapids Head Coach David Haugen.  “We were close to a couple of big plays but against a good team like Mahnomen-Waubun you need to make the play when you get the chance as you don't get many opportunities.  I felt like we kept working and competing and actually improved as the game went on.  If we can learn from this game and continue to improve we can still be successful moving forward.”
