“Tough battle tonight in Pelican Rapids,” said Wadena-Deer Creek Head Coach Jordan Cresap. “Thought we did a lot of good things throughout the game, just didn’t make the big plays down the stretch. Competed tough defensively. Good thing to take from this one is we showed we can hang with the best of the best in section 8AA.”
