Tongue River HS Football: Putting the Elk Fire aside, part of the reason why the Tongue River High School football team went 2-6 last year, was that the team didn’t have a lot of depth.
Numbers were a bit on the low side when the season started, which resulted in fatigue in some games.
Head Coach Steve Hanson says this year numbers-wise, there’s a good crop of new players coming in, and while that may not result in much game experience now, they’ll get their chances and the starters can get a few more breaks on occasion.
