The Elks relied on their power run game to drain the clock and keep the ball out of the Cardinals’ hands.

What started out as a competitive match, with two teams throwing down offensive challenges, morphed into a game of keep away.

Which was just how Elk River wanted it.

The Elks refused to let Alexandria have the ball in the second half of the Class 5A championship game Saturday, crafting a pair of nine-minute drives that ended in points for a 33-24 victory.
