       *QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You Tube

In this story ROCORI Boys’ Swimming Coach Pete Spengler tells us about the 2009 Boys Swim Team. Although the team is young, there are more swimmers out for the team this year than in any other year that coach Spengler has been at ROCORI.  This year it will be important for the Spartans to plug swimmers into holes that were vacated by graduating seniors. They are also looking to add one more swimmer to an already-impressive relay team. If you do not know much about the sport of swimming, watch this great preview or come on out to a home meet at the swimming pool at ROCORI High School.

ROCORI Football Spartans Earn Road Victory Over Fergus Falls Otters

September 25, 2009
Fergus Falls, Minnesota

       *QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You Tube

Coming off a tough loss to the Sauk Rapids Storm, ROCORI was faced with the difficult task of traveling to Fergus Falls. Although Fergus Falls graduated many of their key athletes, the long bus ride and hostile crowd is never easy to overcome.

In the first half, both teams moved the ball between the twenties, but were unable to finish off their drives. The ROCORI defense came up with a couple of key stops when they needed to, and the two sides were knotted at zeros at the half.

Slowly but surely the Spartans offense gained momentum in the second half. Derek Lieser led an impressive 94-yard touchdown drive as he made plays with his arm and his legs. He capped off the drive with a 6-yard touchdown run to put the Spartans up 7-0. Lieser hooked up with Nathan Meyer for a 60-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter and ROCORI was able to hang on for the 13-7 victory on the road. The Spartans will take on the Alexandria Cardinals next in their 2009 Homecoming Game! Be sure to stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI for all of your Spartans Homecoming coverage.

One Year Ago: ROCORI Spartans Host St. Cloud Apollo Eagles

       *QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You Tube

In honor of the upcoming football season, DigElog ROCORI would like to bring you the home opener from the 2008 ROCORI Spartans' football season. This year the team will open up their CLC schedule at Apollo on September 4, 2009.

One Year Ago

The long awaited football season has arrived. On August 29, 2008 the ROCORI Spartans opened up their season at home against CLC opponent, Saint Cloud Apollo. In this story you’ll see all the highlights from the first half including a DigElog exclusive, the pre-game presentation by ROCORI Grad Coach Troy Eichers. You’ll also see the Spartan defense swarm the Apollo backfield. The ROCORI team looked impressive under the guidance of new head coach Joel Baumgarten.

       *QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You Tube

The Spartans took a 17 point lead into the second half, but a turnover and a fluke touchdown pulled Apollo within 10 points. The Eagles success can be attributed to their ability to run the ball to the left side. However, some adjustments by the Spartan defense, and a phenomenal touchdown run by Nick Schneider sealed the win for the Spartans as they got coach Baumgarten his first win in the CLC. Watch the highlights of the second half and stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI for more coverage of Spartans football and other Spartans Fall sports.

Cold Spring Springers Hang on for Victory against Coon Rapids

*QUICKTIME         *iPOD          *CELL         *You Tube

After splitting their first two regional playoff games in Coon Rapids, the Springers sent Zach Femrite to the mound to take on the hometown Redbirds. Although there were some questionable calls by the umpiring crew that hurt Cold Spring, the Springers still managed to score a run in three different innings. However, in the bottom of the ninth inning, Femrite lost control of his fastball and loaded the bases. Rain was likely a factor, but the umps were forced to let play continue because there was still another game to be played between the winner and Sauk Rapids. The Springers called on Chad Willenbring to come in and get the save, and Willenbring was up to the task. He induced a ground out and two pop flies and the Springers held on for a 3-2 win. The Springers will play next on Thursday at 6 p.m. in Gaylord, MN against Blaine. Check their website for more details.

"SKATE" Skateboard Competition In Cold Spring

Earlier this week we did a short interview live at this event.  This was a regional tournament held at Springer Park in Cold Spring for area skateboarders.  Over 60 local boarders competed in a game of "SKATE", like the game of "PIG" or "HORSE" in basketball.  It's a one-on-one challenge, each skateboarder pitted against the other.  Gradually, one by one, the best rise to the top and in the end its the best against the best.  One super winner ends up winning the final duo challenge.
