“This was a good battle,” said Fergus Falls Head Coach Steve Olson.  “We had lots of ups and downs in the game, kind of like we did last week.  “Had a couple kicks blocked and a couple of turnovers, but our kids found a way to gut it out and come out with a win.”

Fergus Falls will play at Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton in the semifinal round of the Section 8AAA playoffs at two o’clock Saturday afternoon.
