BY JAYSON PAUTZKE [email protected]

Friday, Oct. 9 was a big night for high school football teams across the state as “Friday night lights” returned after a hiatus. Ogilvie was one of the schools that enjoyed the opportunity to host a game. The Lions kicked off their 2020 campaign with a 28-14 victory over McGregor. Prior to the game, head coach Dave Halvorson said, “We are excited to have a game and have had good practices leading up to it. There are lots of things to work around in practice and during the game. With no scrimmages it has been hard to evaluate players before the fi rst game, but we will try to put on a good performance for people to see.” Because of COVID-19 restrictions there was a smaller than usual crowd to witness the season opening performance. Both teams got off to a slow start offensively. Ogilvie’s defense set the tone by forcing McGregor to punt on its fi rst drive. The Lion’s offense promptly fumbled on its second play giving the Mercu- ries great fi eld position. The defense rose to the occasion DENISE KREBS | TIMES getting a big fourth down stop The Ogilvie Lions hosted their fi rst football game of the season Friday, Oct. 9.
