Spirit Lake Dominates on Homecoming






Okoboji was without their injured starting quarterback, Alex Heller, and their two backup QBs also, as the Pioneers struggled mightily against #2 Spirit Lake. The Indians dominated in all facets of the game and the scoreboard reflected it with a final of 75-0.

Spirit
Lake scored less than a minute into the game thanks to a 10 yard run by
Josh Hofstra, his first of three touchdowns in the game. After an
onside kick attempt, Spirit Lake got the ball back and Alec Henrickson
connected with Homecoming King Trevor Jensen on a 26 yard touchdown
pass.


Logan
Backhaus added a 1 yard touchdown rush and Austin Folsom had a 79 yard
punt return touchdown in the first quarter. Spirit Lake led Okoboji 27-0
at the end of the first. The Indians added six rushing touchdowns in
the second quarter. Hofstra and Caleb Jennings both had two, while
Dallas Poock and Gavin DeVos each added one touchdown apiece. At the
half, Spirit Lake led Okoboji 69-0.

The
second half gave players who don’t normally see a lot of playing time
the chance to make plays. Dillon Reynolds added a 6 yard touchdown carry
in the 3rd quarter. There were no scores in the 4th quarter and the
game was actually cut a few minutes short due to incoming severe
weather. Spirit Lake closed out the dominant performance with a big
homecoming win 75-0.

Spirit
Lake travels to Cherokee next Friday to take on Washington. That game
will be on KUOO. Okoboji hosts MOC-Floyd Valley next week and Q102 will
carry the game.
