Friday Night Lights

On the morning after Mandan High's decisive victory over Grand Forks Red River, exciting football action could be found on the lower field of Ft Lincoln Elementary school.  The 11:30 game featured The Swarm taking on The Razorbacks.
The Razorbacks went 3 and out on their first possession, setting up great field position for the Swarm.  Not only did the Swarm score on their first 2 possessions, they dominated the Razorbacks with aggressive defensive play.

 #9 LaFleur and #3 LaFleur protect the line during The Swarm's first scoring drive of the game.

 J. LaFleur is finally forced out of bounds on a 37 sweep.  Had he hurdled #26, he could have scored a touchdown.

The Swarm are 3-0-1.  Next week they face The Ducks at Farris Field.  The Ducks are undefeated.  The season is on the line.
When asked about the offensive strategy for today's game, Jonathan LaFleur stated: "We needed to establish our running game early.  The safeties for the Razorbacks are good tacklers".  Eric LaFleur had no comment.
