Shelby (Mont.) 59
Mullan/St. Regis 42
ST. REGIS, Mont. — Senior Kofi Appiah had three touchdowns in the first half for the Tigers in a loss to the Coyotes at St. Regis High.
“It was a tight back-and-forth slugfest until late,” Mullan/St. Regis coach Stetson Spooner said. “Shelby played well and the sportsmanship was top notch. Some good things happened for us that I think can make us better moving forward. Often times, we try to find well-coached squads that will push us as hard as possible to help prepare us for those southern teams during the postseason. It was a good football game."
Senior John Pruitt had two touchdowns for Mullan/St. Regis (6-1), which hosts Lakeside on Friday at John Drager Field in Mullan.
Shelby is 4-3.
