The Sauk Centre football squad saw their playoff hopes diminish Friday with a 41-26 loss to Melrose. The Streeters led 14-0, but Melrose scored 26 unanswered points as they won between the crosstown rivals.
Trailing 26-14, Sauk Centre's Cody Bartkowicz returned a kickoff for a TD in the third quarter to pull Sauk to within a touchdown at 26-20. But Melrose answered with two consecutive TDs to go ahead 41-20 before Bartkowicz scorted his second touchdown of the game late in the fourth quarter to make it 41-26.
Sauk centre had trouble stopping Melrose's passing game.
Both Bartkowicz and sophomore running back Roosevelt Austin had two scores for the Streeters.
Senior linemen Joe Bromenshenkel was injured in the game and was taken to the hospital for observation. Bromenshenkel was tended to on the sidelines after complaining of a sore temple after taking a hit during the game.

Streeter volleyball takes a wild five-game match vs. visiting Foley
In a strong upset bid, the Foley Falcons made for a very good opponent tonight, when they nearly beat the conference-leading Sauk Centre Mainstreeters volleyball team on the home court.
Foley was 4-10 overall not too long ago before going on a hot streak, winning a tournament at Leroy-Ostrander, sweeping a solid Pierz squad, and getting over .500 before coming to Sauk Centre. The Falcons (11-10) were 3-7 in the West Central North Conference (7th place) before giving the Streeters all they wanted.
Read all about the exciting win in next week's issue of the Sauk Centre Herald.
Up next: a trip into eastern Minnesota to Milaca, against a Wolves team that has only two wins since September 13.
They recently defeated New London-Spicer for their first conference win in two seasons and are 7-13 overall and 1-10 in the WCCN.
The Streeters, who have a half-match lead over Albany for first place in the conference, will be heavy favorites - but as we saw tonight, being favored does not guarantee the win by any means.
