SLATERS 36, Otters 27

The Otter Valley Union High School varsity football team dropped to 2-7 after a season-ending 36-27 loss to the Fair Haven Slaters last night. The Otters lost six consecutive games after starting the season 2-1. Fair Haven improved to 5-4 with the victory.

The final game of the Vermont Division II regular season will be played this afternoon, when the undefeated Green Knights of Rice Memorial High School visit the 5-3 Lyndon Institute Vikings. Lyndon Institute has lost three games in a row but has a stingy defense comparable to that of Rice. Heading into that final game, the Division II Standings look like this:

Team Name	Wins	Losses
Rice Green Knights	8*	0
Bellows Falls Terriers	8	1
Burr&Burton Bulldogs	6	3
Milton Yellowjackets	6	3
Lyndon Institute Vikings	5*	3
