The Maple Lake High School football team ended its season last week in the Class 2A Section 4 quarterfinal game in Norwood-Young America.
The Irish, who were seeded 6th, suffered a lopsided loss to the undefeated, No. 3 seed Central Raiders.
The Irish were down 50-0 in the third quarter when junior Landon Salmela scored a touchdown on a one-yard gain. The two-point conversion run by senior Brock Elston was successful giving the Irish their eight points for the game.
