Minnesota’s Top-25 Individual Performances from Week 6

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another wonderful fall weekend is in the books, and despite my Oles losing to crosstown rival Carleton for the first time since 2013 I was still buzzing from the slate of games, MN prep football had put together the day before. It's still a wild race in the Metro for the 6A crown, with four unbeatens and some terrifying one-loss squads making up the <em>MNFootballHub </em>rankings, but this past weekend was also influential in the 5A race, with <em>St. Thomas Academy</em> taking down <em>Mahtomedi </em>and seven teams still undefeated going into this Friday. Don't sleep on 2A and the 9man class either, as all ten teams in the rankings are without a loss heading into Week 7 of the 2022 season. It's hard to imagine the 2022 season being more exciting at this point, and in addition to the strong teams and state championship races, we saw some very impressive individual performances last Friday that will catch your eye and leave your mouth agape. Check out <em>PrepRedzoneMN's </em>Top-25 showings from last weekends action below, and congrats to all of the studs and their big-time accomplishments.
