ENDERLIN – The undefeated Maple Valley/Enderlin football team held its perch on the the top of the Class A Region I standings 26-22 win over Northern Cass in its homecoming game Friday night.
The Falcons offense attacked from the air with passing team of quarterback Jordan Haseleu and wide receiver Austin Dixson and key defensive plays gave MVE the victory. The game went back forth throughout the fourth quarter and Falcon head coach Brett Kapaun said he was proud of his team's tenacity.
Every year in football, the center snaps a ball to his quarterback hundreds, if not thousands of times.
But as simple as it seemed late in Saturday's 39-28 loss to NCAA Division II South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, something went wrong for the Valley City State University football team.
The Vikings were in the middle of a drive following a touchdown by the Hardrockers that put VCSU down 32-28.
Of all the games a football team plays each year, there is rarely a non-playoff matchup that draws a crowd better than a homecoming game. But in the same vein, all excitement of the weekend comes with the possibility of distracting players.
But in Friday night's 40-13 homecoming win over Lisbon, the Valley City High School football team showed that it was all business.
