Pike Valley fumbled 7 times and

and had no turnovers.
Defensively, Kade Odell led the
panthers with 8 solo tackles and 1
assist. Kraus had 6 solos and 1 assist,
Brock Hanel 2 solos, 4 assists and 1
interception, Stewart 3 solos and 1
assists and Isaacson 2 solos and 2 as-
sists.
Pike Valley football coach Don
Melby said, "Special teams were huge
this game. Keith Blanding returned 2
punts for touchdowns and the rest were
kicked out of bounds short which gave
us great field position. The defense
was also very solid again."
Melby evaluated Mankato's per-
formance and said, "Mankato has im-
proved and played very hard but so
have we. They threw a couple of nice
screen passes and their backs ran very
hard. They are just a little young yet
and will get much better with time."
"We played well defensively with
the exception of a couple of plays,'
said Melby. "We controlled the line of
scrimmage for most of the game on
both sides. Offensively, we played
fairly well but we missed some block-
ing assignments and we can't afford to
drop the ball 7 times. We must do
better than that."

Melby assessed the performance of
B & B and said, "B & B has an excel-
lent team and they are very physical
and quick on the line" of scrimmage.
They totally controlled the line of scrim-
mage and shut down our offense. They
took advantage of our mistakes and
showed why they are now 10-1."
Melby continued, "Defensively, we
missed on a couple of plays we knew
were coming and we struggled to tackle
their backs cleanly. We played well at
times but made too many mistakes.
Offensively, we did very little all day
long and couldn't get in any rhythm.
We put our defense in bad spots all day
long and it hurt them. Our special teams
were also not as good as they have
been."
Pike Valley closes the season with
an 8-3 record and 5-1 in the league.
Randall received about an inch of
snow Saturday.
