Brayden Strand Game Report: @ Crosby-Ironton

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Brayden Strand stepped things up a notch to give Moose Lake/Willow River the 'W'. Strand rushed for 155 yards and one score on only seven carries, and also picked up 32 receiving yards, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. His longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.

Coming up, Strand and Moose Lake/Willow River are taking a road trip to challenge Greenway/Nashwauk-Keewatin at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The last time Strand duked it out with the Raiders (back in October of 2024), the Rebels came out on top by a score of 48-28. Will another strong game from Strand be enough to do it again?
