One thing that's certain about the final regular season football game that pits the St. Louis Park Orioles and the DeLaSalle Islanders is that both teams will finish with at least a .500 record.
Both teams have records of 4-3 as they will battle on Wednesday, October 18 at 7 PM in Minneapolis.
The Orioles were in New Brighton last Friday and came away with a big win against a possible Section 5AAAAA opponent the Irondale Knights 16-13. Skyler Rudelius-Palmer kicked a 28 yard game winning field goal to lead the Orioles to a very possible No. 2 seed in the section and a semifinal game they will host on the 28th at 1 PM.
St. Louis Park trailed 13-3 at halftime and following a scoreless third quarter, they got on the board on Rudelius-Palmer's 29 yard field goal. Then it was quarterback Johnny Sorenson who threw a 21 yard touchdown pass to his fellow hockey teammate Ryan Klaers to even the score at 13. Rudelius-Palmer would boot the game winning field with no time left on the clock to give head coach Ben Wolfe perhaps his biggest win in his tenure at St. Louis Park.
As for the Islanders, they were ousted by the Orono Spartans last Friday 52-13. Just like St. Louis Park, two of their three losses were to Holy Angels and Benilde-St. Margaret's.
The Islanders have a dual threat running back in Sage Booker. He ran for 91 yards and caught four passes for 27 yards. DeLaSalle will need to have a big game from Booker and St. Louis Park will have to continue their momentum following their big win against Irondale. Sorenson, who completed 13 of 24 passes for 173 yards has thrown nine touchdown passes and could reach double figures against the Islanders.
It should be a nice , warm October night in Minneapolis so if you haven't seen the Oriole football team this season, get out to the banks of the Mississippi River to see the Orioles battle the Islanders.
