“This was a tough opponent to start against for the second half of the season after our bye week,” said head coach Jerry Weiland. “Hats off to the Viborg/Hurley team as they are a top-quality team that is slated to go deep into the playoffs. Viborg is an upperclassman-commanded team and they imposed both their strength and size on us. The most frustrating thing is the mental mistakes we made.”

            If you look at the stats breakdown you can see the picture fairly clearly. Viborg/Hurley made 42 total plays gaining 13 first downs, compared to 29 plays and only four first downs on GHS’ side, the writing is on the wall. V/H had five penalties, sure, but we had four, as well as two turnovers, a fumble and a pass interception thrown.

            The Blue Dragons return to their home turf this Friday night. There will be a tailgate supper hosted by the Garretson Fire Department starting at 5:30 p.m.

            “This week we will face a top seeded team in Elkton-Lake Benton,” said Coach Weiland. “Come out and support the Blue Dragons!”Splitrock Bowling:
