The Sauk Centre Mainstreeters football team fell to the Dutchmen in a crosstown rival regular season finale Wednesday night in Melrose.
The teams battled in the cold fall night, and Sauk led 14-7 at one point before Melrose rallied to score 18 unanswered points for the win.
Sauk got a 41-yard touchdown run from Cody Bartkowicz and Roosevelt Austin caught a 15-yard pass from quarterback Patrick Knoblauch.
But Melrose rallied, led by quarterback Isaac Sawyer and wide receiver Tanner Klaphake. Klaphake had TD receptions of 66, 16 and 27 yards as melrose improved to 3-5 while Sauk fell to 2-6.
The Streeters will likely get the No. 7 seed in the 6AA section playoffs, but that won't be set in stone until Friday morning.
Stay tuned to find out section seedings and Sauk's opponent in the section quarterfinals next Tuesday.

Just over three minutes into the second quarter, Mainstreeters trail 13-7 against BOLD
Terrance Ellis grabbed a 73-yard touchdown strike to cut into a 13-0 deficit with 8:41 left in the second quarter. The radio announcers I was listening to from Olivia were in awe at the speed of Ellis, who outran the BOLD defender and sped down the sideline for the score.
BOLD jumped in front by two touchdowns, the second coming with 9:03 on the clock in the second quarter on a five-yard rush by Remillard.
**With just over five minutes to go in the first half, the BOLD Warriors had gone up 20-7.
On their next series, the Mainstreeters had picked up a couple first downs after starting from their own 37 yard line.
**With 5:15 left in the first half, Sauk Centre's Roosevelt Austin grabbed a shovel pass from Patrick Knoblauch and ran it in for a touchdown. The PAT kick was good to make it 20-14.
There's hope!

Are you ready for some football? Sauk Centre Mainstreeters football travels to Olivia for the 2010 grid season opener
The Sauk Centre Mainstreeters football team begins their 2010 season with a road game at BOLD, in the town of Olivia, for a 7:00pm game tomorrow (Thursday) night. Olivia is 25 miles south of Willmar on Highway 71. Their high school is located on the far southeast corner of town.
The game marks the head coaching debut of Charlie Warring, who was a long-time coach at the helm of the Mainstreeters baseball program. He has 13 seniors on the varsity roster who are ready to lead the Streeters to a successful season.
The Mainstreeters went 2-7 last year, starting off strong with two wins in their first three games (and a competitive loss to powerful Albany in week two) but then were plagued with injuries and lost their final six games.
BOLD, meanwhile, went 7-3 in 2009 and won the West Central South Conference title with a 6-1 record. They lost 30-7 at Melrose Area in the 2009 season opener.
**Sauk Herald scouting report on Class AA BOLD:
Two senior running backs both are back after each churned out 1,000 yard rushing seasons last year. Brent O' Halloran (#38) and Alex Steffel (#22) are the guys to watch in the backfield as Sauk Centre's defense works to get active across the line of scrimmage.
O'Halloran (5'7" 180) is a senior fullback/linebacker who tallied 1,361 rushing yards and scored 20 touchdowns. Steffel (5'10" 170) is a senior halfback/linebacker who rushed for 1,262 yards and seven touchdowns.
Quarterback Kyle Athmann (5-11, 160), a junior, also returns after throwing for 527 yards and five touchdown in 95 attempts.
The Warriors are the favorites to repeat as West Central South Conference champions again with 10 starters back.
Other offensive starters back include senior tackles Andrew Brooks (6-3, 210) and Reed Nelson (6-2, 230).
On defense, Steffel, and seniors Drew Diekman (6-1, 170) and Logan Erickson (5-8, 175) return at linebacker. Brooks is back at defensive end where he had 47 tackles and a team-high six sacks a season ago. Zach Remillard (5-8, 145), a junior, is a returning defensive back after leading the Warriors with three interceptions to go along with his 40 tackles.
BOLD head coach Steve Solem is in his 24th season at the helm of the Warriors program and has an overall record of 201-59. He coached the Warriors into the Prep Bowl on two occasions in the early 1990s. They had success in the early part of the 2000s as members of Class AAA before enrollment declines brought them down to Class AA in 2003.
In 2004, BOLD emerged as Section 3AA champions and played into the state semi-finals, where they lost in the final minute in a 13-7 battle to Eden Valley-Watkins.
