Braves football ends 23-year section final drought

It has been 23 straight foot ball seasons, but the Benson Braves are finally making a trip to the Fargodome after qualifying for the Section 6A Championship. Back in 2003, the Braves fell to Ottertail Cen tral when the team was still in Class AA. This season, Benson earned a bye in the first round of the playoffs after earning the second seed and welcomed four seed West Central Area to Brock Field and earned a 47-21 win behind 204 yards rushing from Adrian Young to advance to the Fargodome and a chance to punch their ticket to state. It was a dream start for the Braves when Darin Hippe took the opening kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown.
