The Indian football team had another successful night last Friday, earning a victory against the Hill City Ringnecks in the Regional Championship game. The game was predicted to be a closer one than the Indians typically have had, but it ended with a score of 52-0, another impressive victory. The game ended at half due to the 45-point rule.
“They thought they were going to beat us but we sent them home at half,” said Adam Krien, junior. “It was a really satisfying win, knowing that we proved them wrong when they came to the game overly confident.”
Head Coach Nick Fawcett echoed Krien’s enthusiasm.
