It was a long trip for the ROCORI football team as they traveled to Detroit Lakes to take on the undefeated Lakers. It was a hard fought game from start to finish as the Spartans would answer everything the Lakers had. Nick Schneider was himself rushing for 80 yards and a touchdown in the first half but the Spartans were trailing by 7 as the halftime horn sounded.

With the rain coming down harder and the field conditions resembling a pigpen more than a football field, the game was less about skill and more about which team would make the least amount of mistakes. It was nearly impossible to keep solid footing and it would ultimately cause both offenses to struggle. Watch and see if the Spartans were able to pull off a victory in the mud on the road.
