The Fliers finished the year with a record of 5-4, but Head Coach Josh Edlund saw a lot of positives over the season.
Our seniors led us to something that Flandreau Football has not done in a long time. All of our boys played really tough all year long, we made the playoffs and set a standard for the teams coming up in the future, he said.
I am very proud of the way they fought and kept themselves in every game we played. They never quit, never gave up, and always strived to play their best football.
