The Saint Francis Indians continue to stand undefeated on Thurs., Oct. 27 when they defeated Wakeeney, 54-0.

The Indians played a quick game and brought home the win in the second quarter when the game was called due to the the 45-point mercy rule.

“I felt I did pretty good at reading the guards at linebacker,” said Brady Dinkel, Saint Francis freshman. “I’m excited to go deep at the playoffs.”

Connor Keller, Saint Francis sophomore, said he’s also excited about the potential for the Indians.
