Players from Freeman/Marion/Freeman Academy and Hill City come together for prayer shortly before 8:30 p.m. Mountain Time Thursday night, Oct. 31. It was moments after the conclusion of the quarterfinal playoff game between the No. 4-seed Rangers and No. 5-seed Phoenix that resulted in a 38-28 win for F/M/FA, which staved off a second-half comeback by Hill City that included two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. The Phoenix will travel to Parkston next Friday to face the No. 1 Trojans, with a trip to the Class 9AA championship game on the line.
