Brandon Valley Outlasts Sioux Falls Washington

Saturday evening, the #2 Brandon Valley Lynx traveled to Howard Wood Field to take on the Sioux Falls Washington Warriors. Both teams having similar tendencies on offense, the defenses were the ones to be the deciding factors. The Lynx ran back the opening kickoff for a TD, then the Warrior defense only gave up one TD for the rest of the first half. The depth of the Lynx team was too solid and they were able to run away with the game in the second half. Scoring Summary: 1st Quarter BV: Mark Mutschelknaus 92 yd Kickoff Return, PAT good (7-0).
