Though the football team (2-6, 1-6 Missota) ended the season with a 35-21 loss, they showed a lot of promise as they head into section playoffs.

Hosting undefeated Shakopee (8-0, 7-0 Missota) on Wednesday at , the Raiders stayed in the game with some big plays from quarterback Jake Mathison, wide receiver Eric Shepley and running back Cody Fugate.

"Our offense is finally putting points up," Shepley told the Northfield News. "We’re playing together better. When we had the ball on offense tonight, it felt like we were always going to score."
