The Detroit Lakes football team (2-0) heads into Friday's home game versus Fergus Falls (1-1) with a state ranking of No. 10 in the latest Class 4A polls. DL received votes in early polling and moved into the top 10 after week two losses by No. 3 So. St. Paul (28-27 to Park of Cottage Grove) and No. 9 Mankato East (35-10) to Mankato West. The Lakers and Fergus Falls square off for the first time since September of 2005, a 29-28 Otters' victory in Fergus Falls.
First-year Otters' head coach Richard Risbrudt decided to throw all the cards on the table with 23 seconds remaining in the game. Fergus had completed an 80-yard touchdown scoring drive in 1:13 to pull within one point of the Lakers, who also had to dig out from a 21-0 halftime deficit to eventually take a 28-21 lead late in the fourth quarter. Risbrudt’s decision was to end the last game of the long-time rivalry going for two. Senior quarterback Andrew Larson connected on a pass in the right side of the end zone for the conversion and ultimately the 29-28 Otter victory. Detroit Lakes defeated Fergus Falls the prior year in a 28-14 win at Mollberg Field. Trailing 14-0 and in danger of dropping to 0-2 on the season, the Lakers scored 28 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, while derailing the Otter offense which was hot in the first half, to pull off the 28-14 win to even their record at 1-1. DL found a weakness on the Otter front, running around left end the majority of the fourth quarter. Senior Shad Tappe found aa hole on the left side scampering for a 22-yard TD, the eventual game-winner, giving the Lakers their first lead 21-14.
