FARGO – For one program, the nightmare continued on Halloween night. For the other, it was a dream come true. For the fourth straight season, the Hawley Nuggets claimed the Section 8AA title game by beating Pelican Rapids, 30-22. But there were plenty of scares to go around.

PELICAN RAPIDS – Upon wandering into Pelican Rapids, one things is pretty clear: this is a town with plenty of community pride.
Three-foot tall fiberglass pelicans welcome visitors from every street corner, decorated with the tools of trade of the merchants sponsoring each. For a town of just 2,374 souls, the streets were buzzing with action last Friday night.

I'm a week shy, but there's no time like the present to start up with what I feel are the state's top games of the week. But I'm going to do it a bit differently than other outlets. We'll take a look at the top game in each of the six classes in the state.
