After defeating the Silverstreaks earlier in the season, 36-34, the Royals were looking for another win to earn a trip to the state tournament. Unfortunately for Royalton, Osakis came out on top this time, defeating the Royals 42-18. Royalton was unable to slow down the Silverstreaks’ offense as Osakis scored five touchdowns of 30 or more yards. The Royals never led in the game as Osakis continued to put points on the board. The teams were tied 6-6 after the first quarter after neither team converted on its two-point attempt. Royalton trailed 14-6 at halftime but came out of the break with the ball and cut the Osakis lead to 14-12.

Royalton’s offense was led by Max Vannurden with 11 carries for 59 yards and two touchdowns. Vannurden also had one reception for 19 yards.
