Overtime feat is biggest
in Clair Morrison's memory!

ON TO FARGO!

OK, the cub reporter cannot provide an eyewitness account this time. The game was in Fergus and, as an older couple, we don't travel well at night. And we also have to admit to spending the evening at Cafe Bella in Glenwood, so we didn't even listen to the game on the radio . . . until we finished dining and listened to the OVERTIME on the ride back home.

We win 37-30
Our Cards pulled it out 37 - 30 in OT! Listening to our Clair Morrison (History teacher, A Club boss) on KXRA after the game, it was the greatest Alexandria comeback he could ever remember in his long tenure both coaching and broadcasting the Cards. Apparently the Cards were behind 30 - 7 half way through the 3rd quarter - tied the game with three straight touchdowns, making two-point conversions on the last two, and then blocking a short Fergus field goal on the last play of regulation.
Our fullback, Woody Wagner (whom I have mentioned before), had 298 yards rushing!!

Fargo dome Friday
So now we move on the Fargo Dome for the sectional championship game next Friday night - against either Sartell or Rocori. We'll probably go to that one - after all "Fargo" is our favorite movie and Ruthie has never been there.

(Good work, cubbie. Next assignment: Could you add a pre-game report on the chances we will have against Friday's opponent? We'll double your per diem for a pre-game meal in Ashby. Get the senior special. We're not paying for Cafe Bella for obvious reasons so don't even bother to turn it in. -- Editor)
