No. 7 Landon Salmela had the lone touchdown in the Maple Lake vs Kimball varsity football game Friday, Sept 27 at Irish Country Stadium. With just over 10 minutes on the clock the fourth quarter, No. 9 quarterback Brock Elston threw a 34-yard pass to No. 10 Joseph Aasen to get the Irish to within one yard of the goal line. Salmela then found a chink in the Kimball defense to score.
The Cubs had already built a daunting 48-point lead by that time. Despite the Irish’s best efforts, Kimball scored another 3-yard run to end the quarter and clinch their 56-8 win.
