Pelican Rapids defeated Wadena-Deer Creek 12-6 on Friday night, recording their second win of the season. 

The Wolverines scored first on a 72 yard pass from Payton Rondestvedt to Zach Shaw In the first quarter. 

Pelican Rapids scored both of their TD’s in the second half with McHale Korfcompleting a 45 yard touchdown pass to Jayden Rutherford, tying the game at 6-6. The winning score came on a five yard run by Damien Britten

“Our guys played with great effort in a game that wasn’t decided until the closing moments,” said Pelican Rapids Head Coach David Haugen. “With WDC driving the Vikings sealed the win when McHale Korf intercepted (his second of the game) a WDC pass at the ten yard line with about 1:30 left in the game. We were able to run out the clock at that time. We missed a couple of scoring opportunities that would have made the fourth quarter a little less stressful, but I’m real pleased with how we were able to come up with the plays we needed to take home the win.” 

Pelican Rapids (2-3) will host Roseau on Friday night.
