61st Snobowl won by Ptarmigans 16-6

        The Polars and Ptarmigans met for the 61^st time with the Ptarmigans coming out on top 16-6.  It was the first time the game was played in March and the first time it was played at scenic Southside Park.  The game featured graduates from New Prague High School from the last 4 decades with the oldest being Jeff Zweber who graduated in 1991.
               It was a physical game with very little snow.  The veteran reffing crew of Tom Vanasek, Pete Kartak and Bobby Kriha kept order with quick whistles.  The Ptarmigans used a strong running attack featuring Ben Buthe and Kevin Korbel throughout the game.  Korbel would score the game’s first touchdown and Jon Schoenecker would follow up and score a two point conversion.  After the first touchdown both defenses held up and the halftime score was 8-0.      
              The Polars offensive would be hurt with too many turnovers.  Ben Buthe would lead the defense with several tackles ask well as an interception.  Paul Frykman, Austin Weinandt and Nick Schoenecker would all recover fumbles. 
         The Ptarmigans would score first in the second half when Chad Skluzacek hit Alex Eide for a 15 yard touchdown strike.  Skluzacek would run in the two-point conversion to put the Ptarmigans up 16-0.  The Polars were led by Ryan Haugen at quarterback with Zack Shetka and Noah Woltjer at running back.   The Polars would answer back with a touchdown run from Woltjer but they would fail on the two-point conversion. 
       Following the game awards were handed out and Kevin Korbel was selected MVP and Defensive MVP.  Offensive MVP was Noah Woltjer, Lineman was James Fuerniss, Rookie of the Year was Levi Schroeder, and the GOAT was Justice Fulton.  Owners for the Polars are Zack Shekta, Ryan Haugen and Zack Dubanoski.  Ptarmigan Owners are Alex Eide, Ben Buthe and Tony Beranek.
