TAILGATE FLYER

Elmwood Murdock Football

The Elmwood-Murdock Knights defeated the Stanton Mustangs 33-13 Friday night in Stanton.

The Knights established a strong running game in the 1st Quarter and jumped out to a 13-0 lead. We played well that first quarter and were able to move the ball and get some 1st downs. Stanton’s offense became more effective in the 2nd quarter scoring on a 25 yard pass and an 8 yard run. E-M had a chance to take the lead but missed a 30 yard field goal to end the half.

I think we let up after jumping out to an early 13-0 lead. Stanton has a strong tradition and was not going to lie down. We made some defensive adjustments at half and our pass coverage improved. The offensive line dominated the line of scrimmage the 2nd half. Devin Morgart, Caleb Marlatt, Dylan Bruns, Payton Frahm and Tyler Marlatt came off the ball very well and eventually wore down the Stanton defense. Meisinger, Florell, and Meyer spearheaded a balanced rushing attack.

Defensively, the Knights were led by Florell, Drake Spohr, and Caleb Marlatt. Riley Backemeyer had two interceptions including one that ended Stanton’s threat to end the 1st half and iced the game for the Knights with another interception late in the 4th quarter.

Husker Fans Salute the Troops 2017

Husker Fans Salute the Troops 2017 – The mission is to salute Nebraska Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines: active duty, national guard, reserve, retired and veterans, to say “Thank you for your service to our Nation” so they know the Husker Nation will never forget their sacrifice and dedication.

This is an unprecedented event in the history of military support to the Armed Forces. This weekend hosts troops and their families from all services, of all ranks, to come together and cheer on their team as they play Purdue on October 28th, 2017.

This weekend is more than just a watch party, though. It is a chance for these servicemen and women to be treated like the heroes they are with an all access, private tour of Memorial Stadium and a brunch in their honor.

2017 marks the tenth year for this event. 2008 was the first year held during the OU game and attended by about 70 troopers and their families. Since then we have had to limit our attendance as it has grown to nearly 500 attendees. Each year we try to improve the troopers experience and being our tenth year we are expecting this to be the best.

Registration for the 10th annual Husker Fans Salute the Troops is now open to first-time attendees --http://www.huskersalute.org/.
