It's a new half and ROCORI looked completely different. It was a half of unexpected. Brad Olson got injured and the Spartans had to bring in their third string QB, who brought them back from the dead. Derek Eisenschenk was the MVP for the Spartans in this game but they wouldn't be able to come from behind. Great season guys.

The final half of the 2006 season wasn't the most of entertaining but it really showed how great the ROCORI defense is. The Spartans recorded their first shut out of the season as they rolled 21-0 over the Eagles. With a 3 game winning streak, ROCORI heads into the postseason with everything in the right direction. It was a great regular season for the team and we wish them the best in post season play.

ROCORI VARSITY FOOTBALL vs Willmar

View QUICKTIME (Best Quality)

Its another great game between the Spartans and the Cardinals. This time its senior night in Willmar and its absolutely freezing out. The weather was dreadful and the game was old fashioned, with each team relying on hard hits and great defense. ROOCRI would start with the ball and had a nice drive but at half things would be knotted at 7.

View QUICKTIME (Best Quality)

With things tied at 7 it would be another dog fight for the Spartans. Would they win a close one or would they lose another nail biter. The Defense that has been there all season for the Spartans would be called upon once again. The offense though ineffective for most of the game would find their flow when needed. They would advance to 4-3 on the season and now, for the first time, have a winning streak.

Its the first half of ROCORI in Sauk Rapids for Sauk Rapids homecoming. ROCORI is 2-3 on the season and Sauk Rapids is 4-1. It wasn't going to be a "gimme" game for the Spartans and they would come out firing on all cylinders. The Spartans were focused from the first whistle.

With the Spartans up 24-7 against Sauk Rapids they would come out and stifle the Storm offense. ROCORI's D has been one to reckon with all season long. The ground game for the Spartans would also get better as the game went on. Nick Schneider would leave no doubt in this one as he rushed for a career high 252 yards and two TDs.

The first half of the game was a very wet and windy game. The Spartans struck first but Little Falls played tough for the first period and a half. It wasn't an easy game for ROCORI and a few back-ups had to play huge roles due to hamstring injuries to key players. Our Spartan Spotlight was on Dane Vocelka and he came through.
