ROCORI And Becker Among Central MN Teams Playing For Section Football Titles Friday

The ROCORI Spartans will take on the Becker Bulldogs with the Section 8AAAA title on the line Friday night in Monticello. The game can be heard on AM 1390/FM 93.9 Granite City Sports, on the Granite City Sports mobile app and at 1390GraniteCitySports.com with kickoff set for 7 p.m..

The Spartans and Bulldogs met in week six, with Becker picking up a 20-0 win at home. It was unusual because the Spartans have typically been the one to shut out opponents- four of their six regular-season wins came without the team allowing a point.

For the season ROCORI has scored 19.9 points per game, while Becker has put up an impressive 37.1 points per game. Defensively, the Spartans have allowed just 11.4 points per game, while the Bulldogs led Section 8AAAA by allowing just 9.9.
