Football: Rice Lake wins season finale over Superior
It hasn’t been the season the Rice Lake football team had been expecting, but the Warriors were able to send their seniors out on a high note with a 40-22 victory over Superior in the season finale on Friday night on Pug Lund Field. After losses in their first eight games of the season, the Warriors (1-8, 1-6) had something to celebrate as Rice Lake outscored the Spartans 24-6 in the second half after being tied at halftime. “It’s huge,” said coach Dan Hill. “They’ve been through hell — I’m just happy for them. Super happy for the seniors. It’s been absolutely not what anybody expected.
