After taking care of St. Cloud Apollo on their home field, the ROCORI Spartans traveled to Fergus Falls for their second game of the 2008 playoffs. The Spartans and the Otters squared off earlier this season with the Otters just edging the Spartans 28-26. However, had the Spartans been able to protect the football in their previous match, they might have been able to come out on top. In the first quarter, both defenses played strong limiting both opposing offenses to only a handful of first downs. Ultimately, the Otters were able to get on the board first, capitalizing on excellent field position.

The Spartans trailed going into the second half by three touchdowns, but they looked to get Nick Schneider more involved in the offense. Their first of the half was filled with impressive runs and efficient pass plays. However, the drive would stall on the six yard-line, and the Spartans would turn the ball over on downs. Unable to get the offense going until a late Mitch Bork touchdown reception, the Spartans fell to the Otters and their season ended in Fergus Falls. The team made a great push into the playoffs this season, and their strong efforts did not go unnoticed in the community. Coach Baumgarten and his staff pulled together a great group of young men and not only taught them how to play the game of football, but the staff also taught them how to be respectful individuals within the community. For that, ROCORI is proud.

Fresh off of two Central Lakes Conference victories, the ROCORI Spartans looked to win a third straight game against the Apollo Eagles. Earlier in the year, the Spartans beat the Eagles on opening night. However, in the first meeting, the Eagles were without two of their best two-way players. In this playoff battle the Spartans fell behind early, but they stuck to the game plan of running the football.
