Rocori Football

The High School Football regular season comes to a close tonight throughout the area. The matchups include Rocori (4-3) at Tech (3-4) at Husky Stadium at SCSU at 7pm, pregame on AM 1390-the Fan at 6:45. Both teams have lost 3 games in a row. Rocori is playing without starting quarterback Mac Mueller who is out with a separated shoulder. Junior Brad Fabel has been starting in place of Mueller.

Week 6 of the High School Football season is tonight. The games on the schedule include Sartell-St. Stephen (4-1) at Tech (3-2) at St. Cloud State's Husky Stadium. The winner of this game will likely be the #2 seed in Section 85A behind top seeded Moorhead. Tech lost 48-40 at home against Moorhead last Friday. Sartell was ranked #10 in the State in Class 5A last week before losing to Fergus Falls.

Rocori quarterback Mac Mueller is lost for the season for Rocori. Mueller separated his shoulder when tackled on a punt return against Sauk Rapids-Rice Saturday during Rocori's homecoming game. Mueller was the leading rusher and passer for Rocori this season and is a devastating loss for Rocori.

The High School Football season continues with week 2. I admittedly underestimated Rocori last week. The Spartans pounded Brainerd in Brainerd to avenge the only loss they suffered in 2011. Rocori will host Alexandria Friday night at 7pm, pregame on AM 1390-the Fan at 6:45. Get a complete recap of high school football on St. Cloud Sports Saturday from 8-9am with Emmett Keenan. All area coaches are expected to appear on the program.
