The Fort Frances Muskies football team concluded their season with a 10-8 upset win over the Beaver Brae Broncos Friday.
The win left the team with a 3 and 4 record and a tie for fourth in the Winnipeg High School Football League’s Bramwell Division, but a tiebreaker left the Muskies out of the playoffs.
All of the Muskies’ points came in the second quarter, with running back Jaxon Strachan scoring a touchdown on a 65-yard run and Hayden Becketts kicking the extra point and a 27-yard field goal.
The Muskies’ defence took over the rest of the game, with Strachan snuffing out a Bronco drive in the final minute with a late-game interception to seal the win.
