Anthony Fleischfresser flash froze the St. Louis Park defense with three touchdowns to lead the Spring Lake Park Panthers to a 48-12 victory over the host Orioles Friday night.
The Panthers, ranked third in Class AAAAA, took only three plays on their first drive that was capped by Fleischfresser's 10 yard touchdown run. Spring Lake Park got the ball back after Raghde Flores recovered a St. Louis Park fumble and Fleischfresser scored on a nine yard run. The Panthers would wrap up the first quarter scoring on Drew Swenson's 34 yard touchdown run and they would lead by 21.
Cade McMahon would open the second quarter scoring for Spring Lake Park as he ran up the middle five yards for a touchdown. The Orioles would get on the scoreboard on a five yard keeper touchdown from quarterback Logan Romero. The Panthers would suffer a blow with 1:26 left in the first have when Fleischfresser left the game due to an injury. He would return later in the game. They would get a two yard touchdown run from Mark Buley with :30 to go and Spring Lake Park led at halftime 35-6.
The start of the second half would be delayed an hour due to lightning in the area. When both teams returned to the field, the Panthers didn't miss a beat as quarterback Zachary Ojile, the key to the team's run option offense, used his speed and broke through a couple of Oriole tackles to score from 44 yards. Spring Lake Park led 41-6 at the end of the third quarter.
With the game pretty much decided, both teams would use their reserve players in the fourth quarter. The Panthers would use Kelvin Kuria and Eric Carlson at quarterback while the Orioles would use Johnny Sorenson and Aaron Ellingson under center. Sorenson made the most of his playing time with a high and deep pass down the right side to Semaj Mitchell for a 64 yard touchdown. Fleischfresser would wrap up the scoring with a seven yard touchdown run as the game went into running time.
Spring Lake Park improved their record to 3-0 and St. Louis Park fell to 0-3. Both teams return to action on Friday, September 23 as the Panthers head to New Brighton to take on the Irondale Knights at 7 PM and the Orioles go up Highway 169 to New Hope to face the Cooper Hawks, also a 7 PM start.
