Pirates Roll
Key of the game: Facing fourth down, Park Center lined up to punt. The ball was snapped directly to Amani Hooker, who weaved 73 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 halftime lead. The play came with 1 minute and 27 seconds left in the second quarter and hurt the confidence of Fridley's defense.
