Fertile-Beltrami takes on Cromwell-Wright in State Quarterfinals – on KROX Radio

The Fertile-Beltrami Falcons

1st Quarter
The Falcons got the ball to start the game, and they took what Coach Brian Nelson said to a tee, and churned clock on their first drive. The Falcons ran an 11-play possession, running 79 yards; Gavin Aakhus was 3 for 3 passing on the drive, and he would be the one to cash in a 10-yard QB sneak for a TD to put the Falcons up 8-0. Cromwell-Wright got the ball next, after a great kick return to midfield, but were stuffed on 4th down. This gave the Falcons the ball back, and on a much quicker drive, Caleb Sather ran the ball in from 12 yards away, putting the Falcons up 16-0. The ensuing kick went to the Cardinals, and Drew Nyberg took it 85 yards to the house to cut the gap to 16-8. The next kickoff went to Creed Tollefson, and he responded in kind, taking the kick 91 yards for a bounce-back score, extending the lead back to 24-8. The Cardinals would punt on the final play of the first quarter, giving the ball back to the Falcons.

2nd Quarter
Both teams had the ball for one long possession, taking up the majority of the second quarter. The Falcons got the ball, and churned over 4 minutes off of the clock, all the way down to 1st and goal on the 10-yard line. After a sure interception was dropped on 1st down, Drew Nyberg got one on 4th down, turning away the Falcons. Cromwell-Wright then had their best drive of the game, as they recorded their first 4 first downs of the game, but once they got the ball into the Falcon red zone, they were stuffed, and proceeded to turn it over on downs.
