The tone of the game was set on the opening kick-off when Riley Waasdorp's big hit caused a fumble that was recovered by Mason Oland. Micah Johnson then hit Parker Thielke for a quick 6-0 lead.
The 2nd quarter saw Isaiah Holmes with a 50 yard TD rush, making it 14-0. Later in the quarter, Thielke had a 40 yard interception return followed by a 30 yard TD pass from Johnson to Jakob Manteufel making the score 22-0 at halftime.
In the 3rd quarter, Johnson threw a 30 yard TD pass to Waasdorp for a 30-0 lead. Jacob Fronning also had a 30 yard interception return.
DL was able to score right away in the 4th quarter making it 30-8. The Otters put Chuck Marquette in at quarterback and he had a 60 yard TD on a QB keeper. DL was able to make a late score for a final of 36-16.
“This was the best team effort we have seen from the boys so far this year,” commented Head Coach Randy Hansen. “The offensive line did a great job protecting the quarterback and making big holes for the running backs. The defense did a great job limiting the big plays from DL.”
The Otters next travel to Perham on Thursday to take on the Yellowjackets at 4:30.
