It was the Annual Father-Son game for the Sauk Rapids/Rice Football Storm as they took on the Sabres from Sartell. The game itself was one of those tough games for the Storm where nothing went right and  Sartell took the opening kickoff for a touchdown. The defense for Sauk Rapids fought hard led by Drew Gaffke who had 10 tackles. The breaks just weren't going the way of the Storm as things just kept snowballing against them. The Storm would eventually lose by 48 and they will need to have a short memory as they take on Little Falls this Wednesday to finish off the regular season.

It was a huge Central Lake Conference battle between ROCORI and Sauk Rapids/Rice. The Storm would try and reach the .500 mark for the first time all season against a very high powered Spartan team. The offense for the Storm was typical. methodical, time-consuming drives that lead to points. The Storm would strike first with a Johnson TD run and strike right before half with a Bemboom to Elliot Td reception.

It was a great game between the #7 ranked team in Class 5A and The Sauk Rapids/Rice Storm. The Storm traveled to Tech to take on the Tigers in Central Lake Conference action. It was a defensive dogfight and Sauk Rapids would force 4 straight turnovers to start the game. Evan Warnert would come up with a interception and fumble recovery and would also score the lone touchdown of the first half.

In the second half the Storm would continue their powerful defense. The Sauk Rapids boys were wound up and would try and get through the big tough Tech defense. They wouldn't be able to scratch any points across in regulation but the game would go into overtime. The Storm would lose on a failed two-point conversion. It was a heart-breaking loss but the game had many positives that the team can build on for the near future.

In the second half of Parents' Night the Storm would come out with respect on their mind. The defense would force a quick Willmar drive and then it was Anthony Bemboom's turn to show off his strong throwing arm. He connected twice with Joe Statz and both led to touchdowns. The final score wasn't the the key for the Storm as the coaching staff had a chance to see their second and third string guys show their potential.

In the second half both offenses found the niche. Sauk Rapids would take a lead into the final minutes and have a chance to win. Fergus Falls, running their spread formation offense would lead a charge that the Storm could not stop. Fergus Falls would have 3 to 4 receivers on every play and Sauk Rapids didn't have enough guys to cover all of the receivers on the field. The Storm would lose in heartbreaking fashion, a hail mary prayer that was answered for the Otters.
