For the second straight week the Potter County Battlers will face a familiar foe and a team they played already this season. Tonight, the Battlers will travel to Faulkton to take on the Faulkton Area Trojans.
The Battlers beat the Hitchcock-Tulare Patriots 48-8 last Thursday scoring all 48 points unanswered for the win and Grant Luikens, senior quarterback, threw for 233 yards, two touchdowns and ran for 46 yards and a score. The Battler defense clamped down on the Patriots to just three first downs the entire night. It comes after just a six point earlier in the season against the Patriots.
Potter County will be looking to do the same against the Trojans tonight after Faulkton Area beat the Battlers 36-18 in the first game of the season. Since then, the Trojans went 7-2 with wins over Colome and Harding County to reach the semifinals. Head Coach of the Potter County Battlers, Vern Smith, is looking back to the win over Hitchcock-Tulare last week for success tonight…
