Mistake-free football and big plays by Brett Johnson and Jordan Berrios helped Watertown-Mayer edge Jordan in a Minnesota River Conference game. Berrios, a senior running back, rushed 17 times for 163 yards and three touchdowns. Johnson, a senior quarterback, scored twice on the ground for the Royals. Mayer-Lutheran can clinch sole possession of conference crown with a victory at home over Belle Plaine next week.

Key of the game: With Watertown-Mayer leading 28-20 and 9:48 left in the game, Bryce Kallenbach recovered a Jordan fumble at midfield, preserving the Royals' lead and setting up their final touchdown.

Quote: "We knew Jordan was going to be tough on us. We had our eyes on the conference championship and all the guys did a great job." — Watertown-Mayer quarterback Brett Johnson

One thing to know: Andrew Fogerty had 30 carries for 142 yards and two TDs. He set Jordan's single-season rushing record this year.
