Continue ReadingRecord-setting rushing performances, state championship winning receivers, P5 athletes, and scholarship maulers in the trenches highlighted some of the monstrous small school standouts’ 2022 campaigns in the Great State of Minnesota. It was once again an excellent season in MN’s 9man to Class AAA ranks and I was fortunate enough to represent PrepRedzoneMN while covering state championship contenders, programs fighting to go .500, scrappy grinders looking for rare wins, and everything in-between, and with the electric state title games and tournament concluded we wanted to throw our heads in the mix and name our own prestigious postseason All-State team from this past season. It’s about time too if you ask me, and to put our own twist on things and once again make an effort to highlight and cover the Outstate and non-Metro ranks, we’ve split our All-State squads into “Small School” and “Big School” features and kicked things off with our Small School Defensive team earlier today. Now, it’s the offense’s turn, and I can barely contain my excitement with how loaded this 2022 inaugural version is. Experienced gunslingers, ultra-productive RBs, big-play WRs, dominant lineman, not to mention the fullbacks, tight ends, and athletes that tore up gridirons all over the Land of 10,000 Lakes’ 9man-Class 3A classes make up the meat of this 2022 team, and there’s no better way to wrap up the season then by handing out some hardware. Congrats to the selections and thanks for reading. Happy New Years!
