Football Results, Week 5

North Branch 47, Duluth Denfeld 12. The No. 4-ranked Hunters fell to 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the Northeast Red. Senior running back Taye Manns ran for over 180 yards, but it wasn't enough as Duluth Denfeld's defense couldn't get off the field. The favored Hunters will host Cloquet next Friday night. "Too many mistakes against a very good North Branch team was really the story of the game," Duluth Denfeld coach Erik Lofald said in an email today. "We are disappointed that the score ended being so lopsided. We will refocus our attention on Cloquet and look to get back on track."

Hermantown 42, Rock Ridge 12. Martin Sleen rushed for three touchdowns and 178 yards as the Hawks, who led 28-0 at the half, improved to 4-1 and 3-1 with the lopsided homecoming win. Landon Burg had three interceptions for Hermantown, which will host Duluth East (2-3) Friday night.

Grand Rapids 47, Duluth East 14. The Thunderhawks improved to 3-2 and 2-2, while the Greyhounds slipped to 2-3 and 0-3.

Two Harbors 55, Esko 26

Cloquet 49, Proctor 0

Cherry 41, Littlefork-Big Falls 0

Howie: Duluth Schools’ credit downgrade is serious
