FFHS Muskies 32 – Dryden Eagles 6 (Winnipeg Highschool Football League)

Friday in Dryden, the FFHS Muskies closed out their regular season with a dominating 32 – 6 victory over the Eagles.

Dryden jumped out to a 6 nothing lead but were shut out the rest of the way by a stingy Muskie defense.

In the first quarter, Senior running back Griffin Webb got the Muskies on the scoreboard with a short touchdown run. The convert by Trent Friesen gave Fort Frances a 7 – 6 lead. Sophomore Quarterback Milo Stafford hit receiver Chase Whitecrow on a 50 yard catch and run to set up the Muskies on the Eagle’s 7 yard line. Stafford hit Webb on with a touchdown pass and Friesen’s convert made the score 14 – 6.

In the second quarter, Stafford scored on a short quarterback sneak. The convert was unsuccessful and the Muskies led 20 – 6. Before halftime, Friesen booted a short field goal to extend the Fort Frances lead to 23 – 6.

In the 3rd quarter, Senior Linebacker Alex Kreger sacked Dryden’s quarterback in the end zone for a safety to increase the Muskie’s lead to 25 – 6. In the 4th quarter, Senior running back Blake Kreger scored on a short touchdown run and Friesen’s convert made the final score 32- 6.

Both teams entered the game in a 4 way tie for 3rd place in the Winnipeg Highschool Football League AAA division with identical records of 4 wins against 2 losses. The win lifts the Muskies’ record to 5 and 2 and moves them into sole possession of 3rd place. Playoffs begin next week.
