For the fifth year in a row, the ranch offered hayrides, horse rides, pumpkin bowling, crafts, a forest walk, homemade apple cider, dutch oven apple crisp and other events to celebrate the Halloween season.

"We knew our defense was pretty darn good, but I had never seen anything like that before," said head coach Jon Eagle. "I just love their style of play. It's aggressive, fast and physical. They play sideline to sideline with clean, hard hits."

"It's an inspiring environment to play in front of that large crowd," said head coach Bob Jacobs. "These kids will always play hard for this community and this town."
