Cook County took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Thursday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Carlton/Wrenshall 69-6. This was payback for the Vikings, who suffered a 20-0 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Cook County's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Nicholas Spry, who threw for 175 yards and five touchdowns while completing 87.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 83 yards and one score on only six carries. Spry also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making two total tackles and defending one pass in addition to snagging an interception. Macoy Fairbanks was another key receiver, gaining 187 total yards and five touchdowns.
