Area Roundup: SW Minnesota

Time to take it back where it all started. I have covered a lot of the Dakotas since the season ended, so I will dip back a little bit into Minnesota in the Southwest corner. I took the job a few years ago in hopes of getting the Southwest on the map for High School football. There is a lot of talent in the area, just not a lot of eyes watching, every kid I have kept track of, that made the jump to the next level has done really well for the program they played for. I went and did a quick sweep through the area again and found a few kids to put on the radar for next season. Here is the list below!
