Another good season is in the books for the St. Regis-Mullan, Idaho co-op football Tigers.

The two-school team that plays conference games in Idaho, lost its first round match up to Hagerman, a team from a town in southern Idaho, Saturday afternoon on the Tigers “home” field in Mullan.

No statistics were available for the game, which the visiting Pirates won 54-12 to bring the co-op’ers season to an end.

The loss dropped St. Regis-Mullan to 8-2 on the year, with a loss to Shelby, MT the only other blemish on their record.

That loss occurred as the regular season was coming to an end and was on the heels of the loss of a key component of their offensive and defensive line-up. Senior Alex Trogden, a standout running back and defensive back on the eight-player team, was lost for the season several weeks ago with a complex knee injury that required surgery.

That was a big blow to the Tigers, on both sides of the ball as Trogden was a major part of their defensive backfield as well as the team’s potent running attack on offense.

Senior Kofi Appiah stepped in and did admirably as Trogden’s replacement in the ground game alongside standout senior John Pruitt, who averaged more than 100 yards rushing per game this past season.

Pruitt was instrumental in leading the Tigers to another conference title with his hard running, and was also a vital part of their defense as a linebacker.
