GREENBUSH - The winning streak of the No. 1A Mahnomen Indians continued Friday night in a big way with a 47-0 shutout on the road over Badger/Greenbush-Middle River.
Dylan Reitan and Jake Worms each scored twice and Mahnomen made a pair of trips to the end zone in the first three quarters of the game.
"Dylan was a highlight machine," Head Coach John Clark, Jr. said. "I thought we totally controlled the line of scrimmage again. We had several long runs where our backs were untouched."
Quarterback Tom Pavek opened the game with a 52-yard touchdown run five minutes into the game.
John Hoffner scored from the seven six minutes later for an early 13-0 lead in the first quarter.
