Neck and neck until the 4th quarter, when <em>Hopkins</em> went up 57-36, the <em>Park Wolfpack</em> put on a furious comeback and got the game to within 7 with 38 seconds left in the game, but the comeback was not meant to be. After 29 straight losses, the <em>Royals </em>are now officially a legit 6A competitor and are in the midst of a potential turnaround for the ages. The <em>Royals </em>are throwing the ball all over the field, with star hooper + wide receiver <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1522278' first='Jayden' last='Moore'] </strong>once again having a massive game with 7 catches for 122 yards and 4 TDs. <em>Hopkins </em>2026 RB <strong>Desmond Moody</strong> added 3 more TDs, and on the <em>Park </em>side, junior <strong>Kody Aikens </strong>rushed for 18, 120, and 4 TDs in the loss. <em>Hopkins </em>has <em>Roseville </em>this Friday, with <em>Wayzata </em>and <em>Edina </em>looming large to end the regular season. The <em>Royals </em>have shown they have firepower and can win tight ball games, but their old classic Lake rivals are heavyweights, so we'll see what kind of momentum <em>Hopkins </em>can bring into the end of the regular season. Stay tuned! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>Lakeville South</em> 36, <em>Rochester Mayo</em> 33</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nearly a massive win for <em>Mayo</em>, <em>Lakeville South</em> managed to hold on for a tight three-point victory against their 6A competitor from Rochester in what was a crazy 4th quarter. <em>South</em> went up 40 to 28 with 8:49 in the 4th, but the <em>Spartans</em> went on a tear, taking a 43 to 40 lead with 29 seconds left in the game on a <strong>Isaac Peterson</strong> to <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1583318' first='Isaiah' last='Beale']</strong> for a two-yard TD pass. However, <em>South </em>stormed down the with less than 30 seconds to go, scoring a <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='945336' first='Jonah' last='Shine'] </strong>TD rush with one second left on the clock. Crazy game for all involved. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='945336' first='Jonah' last='Shine']</strong> - a MSU-Moorhead commit - rushed 15 times for 111 yards and 2 TDs for <em>South</em>, and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1583318' first='Isaiah' last='Beale']</strong> went for 21 carries for 134 and 2 TDs. <em>Mayo </em>QB <strong>Isaac Peterson</strong> went 24-28 for 252 yards and 2 TDs as well.

However, <em>North Branch</em> had something to say about the <em>Hunters</em>' unbeaten streak. The <em>Vikings </em>focused on Uncommitted Senior Sleeper <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='743296' first='Taye' last='Manns']</strong> - a walking video game prior to this - holding him to 21 carries for 171 yards and a TD. <em>North Branch</em> put on a rushing show themselves, posting 513 yards in the win, with two rushers going over 100 yards, one going over 90, and two going over 80. <strong>Tyler Minke </strong>had 3 of the 6 TDs scored on the ground. <em>North Branch</em> also picked off two passes in the strong defensive effort. The <em>Vikings</em> are now 4-1, with their only loss coming to <em>Pequot Lakes</em> in Week 1 28-20. <em>Denfeld</em> is now 4-1 themselves, and looks to bounce back against <em>Cloquet </em>this Friday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>BOLD </em>58, <em>Dawson-Boyd</em> 26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An upset in Minnesota's Class A of competition, #9 <em>BOLD </em>came into<em> Dawson-Boyd High School</em> and put a hurtin' in Class A's #6 ranked <em>Blackjacks </em>58-26. <em>Dawson-Boyd</em> has some serious weapons, including 6'7, 200 lb. WR<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='945927' first='Brayson' last='Boike'] </strong>- a Southwest MN State basketball commit - and 2026 <strong>Nathan</strong> <strong>Hansen</strong>, a serious RB/DB/ATH prospect in the junior class, but <em>BOLD </em>didn't care, and led by <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1582826' first='Hudson' last='Vosika']</strong>, who rushed for 237 yards and 5 TDs in the win, took control early and never relented. <strong>Boike </strong>went for 10 catches for 148 yards and 3 TDs in the loss, and man, I wish that kid was playing football in college. <em>BOLD's</em> defense picked off two passes as well. <em>BOLD </em>takes on <em>Yellow Medicine East</em> (0-5) on Saturday and <em>Dawson-Boyd</em> travels to <em>Canby </em>(2-3) on Friday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>Lakeville North</em> 36, <em>Eagan </em>33</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The best game of the weekend, <em>Eagan High School</em> - one of the best success stories of the 2024 season - nearly asserted themselves in the 6A state title conversation on Friday night, but failed to pull off the stunner, falling 36-33 to #1 ranked <em>Lakeville North.</em> The game was tight through three-quarters of play, but <em>North </em>used a <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='348783' first='Sam' last='Ripplinger']</strong> TD run to take a 36-25 lead with 3:25 in the game, and although <em>Eagan </em>roared back with a <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='348721' first='Madden' last='Ison'] </strong>TD run less than a minute later to pull within three, they couldn't score those last points to complete the comeback. <em>Eagan </em>2026 RB <strong>Logan Gilbertson </strong>scored TDs on the ground in the loss, and <strong>Ripplinger </strong>matched him with two TDs himself, as well as 28 carries for 121 yards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>Minnetonka </em>21, <em>Shakopee </em>13</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's a full recap of the <em>Minnetonka vs. Shakopee</em> game I attended on the site, so I won't get into things too deep here. However, <em>Minnetonka</em> is a legit contender for a 6A state title, and this game's atmosphere was one of the biggest and best I've been to while covering MN high school football. Despite the tight score line, <em>Minnetonka </em>was in control of this ball game all four quarters, and their defense was relentless and physical, which matches their North-South, in-your-face running game on the other side of the ball. <em>Shakopee </em>has a ton of talent that was a joy to watch, but with 8,100 fans in attendance last Friday night in <em>Minnetonka</em>, with 90% of them being <em>Skipper's </em>fans, this night was all <em>Minnetonka</em>. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>Mahnomen/Waubun </em>13, <em>Red Lake County</em> 12 </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another big-time Class A showdown, both teams came into the matchup 4-0, and now #3 <em>Mahnomen/Waubun</em> almost saw their season take a turn for the worse. However, the <em>Thunderbirds </em>squeezed out the one-point W in the fourth quarter with a 4th quarter, go-ahead TD by <strong>Easton Bevins</strong> to put the ball game away. <em>Red Lake County</em> was 4-0 coming into the ball game, never scoring less than 39 points and never allowing their opponents more than 14, but they had a tough test against <em>Mahnomen/Waubun</em> and played well throwing for 205 yards and rushing for 66 against a tough opponent. This should serve <em>Red Lake County</em> later into sections and playoffs.
