For the second straight season, the Bemidji High School boys hockey (8-11) team brought Moorhead (11-7-1) to the brink of elimination in the Section 8AA quarterfinals Wednesday night.
The Lumberjacks’ Wyatt Mattfield sent the game to overtime with 6:45 to play in regulation, but the Spuds struck with six seconds to play in the extra period to secure a 3-2 win.
BHS goaltender Tanner Rebischke racked up 47 saves in a standout night in net. The senior almost duplicated his 52-save performance from last season’s section quarterfinal matchup when the Jacks similarly went on the road and nearly knocked off top-seeded Moorhead.
Thirteen seniors completed their BHS hockey careers Wednesday: Declusin, Marcotte, Rebischke, Savard, Nathan Alto, Michael Dickinson, Tate Hammitt, Lincoln Huerd, Ethan Maish, Nathan Mannausau, Cole Matetich, Josh Nyberg and Rhett Seeger.
