The Rocori Spartans varsity football team returned home this week to take on the undefeated Fergus Falls Otters.  In this game highlight Quarterback Adam Backes fakes a half-back pitch and then finds wide receiver Dustin Schlangen on a long pass down the middle.  Schlangen breaks two tackles and lopes on into the end zone for a 65 yard touchdown.  This ended up being a back and forth dog fight between two well coached teams. Stay tuned for more highlights of the entire game later this week here on DigElog ROCORI.

Deb Hennen Fund Raiser : TONIGHT @ St. Boniface Parish Center

Friday September 19, 2008

Raffle  -  Silent Auction  -  Spaghetti Dinner

4-8pm @ St. Boniface Church, Cold Spring, MN

Deb Hennen (Kelley), Rocori class of ’74, was first diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in November 2004.

Metastatic cancer was detected in her breast tissue and in the lymph nodes of her chest wall.   Deb underwent chemotherapy and thankfully her cancer went into remission in April 2005. 

Follow-up visits since then had brought good news – until this past March, when a PET scan revealed that Deb’s cancer had returned to the same lymph nodes in her chest wall, having also spread to one of her lungs.
               
Deb’s second battle with cancer has made her very sick.  So sick, in fact, that her doctor has ordered her to stop working.  In late June, she spent several days in the hospital with hemoglobin/platelets at dangerously low levels.  She’s been receiving blood transfusions and shots to increase her strength.

Deb’s determination hasn’t let up one bit.  The only way Deb would agree to a benefit was if we could make it fun.  So, please come on Sept 19, 2008 and expect to have a good time. 

This disease carries an incredible financial burden with it.  You can help by spreading the word, offering to sell raffle tickets to family and friends, and generously contributing.

ROCORI Varsity Football vs Sauk Rapids-Rice GAME HIGHLIGHTS

FIRST HALF

Click To Play           *QUICKTIME              *iPOD          *CELL

The ROCORI Spartans took their unbeaten record on the road last Friday as they looked to win a third straight CLC match up. It would not be easy for the Spartans as the Sauk Rapids Storm have a solid ground attack and a defiantly stout defense. The first quarter was dominated by defensive play with a late field goal miss keeping the score tied at 0-0. Each team scored a touchdown in the second quarter. The Storm took just two plays to get into the end zone on a long run. The Spartans methodically controlled the clock during their eventual journey across the goal line.


SECOND HALF

The second half was all the Sauk Rapids-Rice Storm as they controlled the clock for over seven of ten minutes in the third quarter. They would score two quick touchdowns and put the game out of reach as the Spartan offense was not able to get anything going. Hats off to the Storm as they have a great ball club. It’s likely that if the Spartans are going to make it through the playoffs, they’ll have to go through by way of the Storm.  Watch for more highlights this coming weekend and be sure to get on out and support the Spartans as they return home this Friday in a game against Fergus Falls.

Last Thursday, September 11, 2008, the ROCORI Spartan varsity volleyball team put their perfect record on the line as they hosted CLC rival, the Sauk Rapids Storm. The first game belonged to the Storm, but improved play at the net gave the Spartans the edge in games two and three. However, in the end, the game series would come down to just a couple of crucial rallies that didn’t go the Spartans way. They lost a heartbreaker that went the distance as they fell 3-2. For more Spartan volleyball action, stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI.
