Picked to finish fourth i their conference in 1998 by the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Royals felt as though they wanted to earn respect across the state.

After missing the extra point, the Royals promptly squashed all of the Raiders pass attempts. However, with 7.6 seconds remaining in the game, the Royals saw their conference championship dreams dashed to pieces as a hail mary pass landed in he hands of the Hastings rec!
