Chanhassen Storm Storms Past SLP Orioles

 For the second straight night, a storm hit St. Louis Park.  It wasn't five inches of snow that pelted the Twin Cities Tuesday night, it was the Chanhassen Storm led by Eli Mau's three touchdowns en route to a 37-14 over the host St. Louis Park Orioles Wednesday night.  

Mau would account for both Storm touchdowns in the first quarter.  He scored the first on a five yard pass from Riley Funk and the second on a fur yard run to put Chanhassen ahead 14-0.  

Both teams tallied in the second quarter.  Mau scored his third touchdown of the game on a three yard run to put the Storm ahead 21-0.  There would be no shutout on this chilly Wednesday night as the Orioles would get the zero off their end of the scoreboard.  Setting up the offensive drive was McCabe Dvorak recovering a Chanhassen fumble.  Then came a 45 yard touchdown run from Zeke Oppegaard and Chanhassen led 21-7 at the half.  

McCabe Dvorak would also be a factor in St. Louis Park lone third quarter touchdown.  His brother Will threw a high and long pass down the right side of the field to McCabe and he hauled in a 68 yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 21-14.  Could another upset be in the works for the Orioles?  The answer would be no when Brady Grandstaff did a very grand thing and reached the end zone on a one yard touchdown run to extend the Chanhassen lead to 28-14.  

The Storm would go up by 21 in the fourth quarter when Funk on second and goal at the Oriole 10 yard line threw a touch pass to Brandon Radtke.  They would wrap up the scoring on Gabe Porthan's end zone sack of Will Dvorak for a safety.  

Chanhassen concludes the regular season with a 5-0 record.  St. Louis Park ends the regular season with a record of 1-5.  Both teams enter section play next Tuesday, November 17.
