<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Lakeville North closed out the 2018 season with a tight 28-21 victory over an always impressive Eden Prairie team. Averaging over 300 to 400 yards total offense and averaging 35 points a game all season along with a solid defense only giving up less then 200 yards to opposing offenses and holding them to an average 10 points a game to get them to their Prep Bowl Title. Graduating key players on both sides, such as </span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Offensive Tackle <strong>Bryce Benhart</strong></span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Running back <strong>Brian Curtis Jr.</strong></span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> Defensive ends <strong>Eli Mostaert</strong> and <strong>Will Mostaert</strong> </span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">T</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">hey will also be returning a good core of players such as </span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Running back <strong>RaJa Nelson</strong> </span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wide Receiver <strong>Keaton Mohs </strong></span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Linebacker <strong>Nick Wypy</strong> </span> Owatonna has always been a solid football program in the state of Minnesota, winning three Prep Bowl titles in the past six years including back-to-back years in the '17 and '18 seasons. However the Huskies lost the Gatorade Player of the Year in <strong>Jason Williamson</strong> to the Gophers who was a focal point of their offense for three seasons they might be hurting next season but with a stellar defense as always only giving up 13 points to opposing defenses, they will still be fighting for another Prep Bowl in 2019. The Huskies will be returning their Quarterback <strong style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Logan Gauthier</strong><span style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;">, </span> <span style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;">Wide Receivers </span><strong style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Matthew Williams</strong><span style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;"> and </span><strong style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Ethan Walter</strong><span style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;">, </span> <span style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;">as well as their defensive end </span><strong style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Ethan Rohman</strong><span style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;"> and Linebacker </span><strong style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Isaac Gefre</strong><span style="font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;">.</span> SMB won their first Prep Bowl in school history, with a pretty even pass-to-run game, averaging almost 300 yards total offense each along with 29 points a game. Their defense also stepped up only allowing 10 points per game. SMB will be returning a huge core on offense in their Quarterback <strong>Jalen Suggs</strong> Wide Receivers <strong>Craig McDonald</strong> Tight End <strong>Kaden Johnson</strong> On defense they will be returning McDonald at Corner and Johnson at Linebacker Key players they will lose are Running back <strong>Siegel Howard</strong> Linebacker <strong>Bennett Theisen</strong> Rochester Lourdes went a perfect 14-0 in 2018 and won their third Prep Bowl in 5 years. Averaging a near 400 yards a game and 35 points a game while the defense only surrendered 8 points a game. They will be graduating most of their offensive and defensive units it may be a rebuilding year for the Eagles in 2019. The offense will lose key players like Quarterback <strong>Matthew Hayford</strong> Running backs <strong>Jake Groteboer</strong> and <strong>Zach Jungels</strong> Wide Receiver <strong>Pat Leary</strong> and <strong>Julian Bretton</strong> On Defense they will lose Defensive Back Trey <strong>Billmeier</strong> Defensive Lineman <strong>Mark Ustby</strong> Caledonia showed for the fourth year straight that they are the best in Double A, with the longest national winning in high school football at 54 straight games the Warriors look to extend their streak to five straight perfect seasons. Caledonia continued their high fire-power offense in 2018 averaging 35 points a game and their defense only giving up 4 points a game and pitching six shut-outs on the season. The Warriors will lose a strong bunch of Seniors to graduation in Running Backs <strong>Nick McCabe</strong> and <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Beardmore</strong> Wide Receiver <strong>Tate Meiners </strong> Lineman <strong>Brady Rosendahl</strong> On Defense the Warriors will lose Defensive Back <strong>Payton Schott</strong> Defensive End <strong>Ryan Wagner </strong> Mahnomen/Waubun won their first Class A Prep Bowl as a co-op in 2018. The Thunderbirds racked up 37 points a game on average while their defense only gave up 6 points a game throwing seven shutouts including a five game stretch where they did not allow a point. The Thunderbirds will also be losing on offense Quarterback <strong>Jon Starkey</strong> Running Back <strong>Parker Syverson</strong> Wide Receiver <strong>Tayvis Zima</strong> And defensively they lose Lineman <strong>Chandler Toczek</strong> Defensive Back <strong>Izaiah Asher</strong> Spring Grove repeated in 2018 winning back-to-back Prep Bowls while winning 28 in a row.
