We appreciate all of the support. It was great to see all of the people in attendance at the game. I know it didn't show at the start of the game, but we were ready to play. Dell Rapids St. Mary's is a tough team and came out strong, but our defense held them to 50 yards total offense with three fumble recoveries (TJ Salmen, Jackson Maynard, and Riley Fliehe) and 1 interception by Mason Bottum. The Patriots have a lot of weapons to stop on offense. Our line with Jacob Michlitsch, Jackson Maynard, and Mikael Nielson are doing a great job. Riley Fliehe had some great runs to keep our drives moving. Erik Salmen, Carter Binger, and Landon Puffer had rushing touchdowns. TJ Salmen and Landon Puffer had receiving touchdowns, and Cole Schroeder had a receiving two-point conversion. It was a great team victory. We look forward to our third round play-off match-up with De Smet next Friday night. Please come out and continue to support us in person if your able. It is great to see and hear the fans cheering us on. #GoPatriotNation
