In the second quarter Thompson scored on a 22 yard run and Reed Mace hauled in a 34 yard pass from Gunderson.  Both extra point kicks by Yliniemi increased the Lakers lead to 35-0.  Fergus Falls got on the scoreboard when Kaden Hartwell blocked a punt and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown.  Andrew Starzl was successful on the extra point kick.  Yliniemi pushed the lead up to 42-7 on an 86 yard run and another PAT kick.  An 80 yard run by Parker Jacobs and an extra point kick by Starzl put the score at 42-14.  A Gunderson to Mace 37-yard touchdown pass brought the Detroit Lakes lead to 48-14 at the half.

The only score of the third quarter was a seven yard run by Christian Solberg and another PAT kick by Yliniemi to put the final score at 55-14.

"We got beat by a very good team tonight," commented Fergus Falls Head Coach Steve Olson.
