PrepRedzoneMN 2025 All-Section Quarterfinal Team: Class 3A

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's been a historically crazy year in Minnesota's Class 5A, which has held down the top spot in the state's race for most competitive classification. The 2025 Class 5A sectional tournament has been a doozy so far, with upsets, thrilling finishes, and some notably outstanding individual performances coming out of the state's 8 sections in Class 5A. Before we dive headfirst into the sectional finals for 9Man-Class 5A this coming Friday, <em>PrepRedzoneMN</em> wanted to take a quick second to harness the thrill of the lightning-quick section tournament by naming an outstanding All-Section team for every class in MN besides 6A. Unfortunately, PRZMN could not find any data, names, or information from <em>Luverne, Jordan, Foley, Pine City, Mora, Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted, Watertown-Mayer, Dassel-Cokato or Winona Cotter's</em> quarterfinal exploits and stat lines, so if anyone wants to help me out please email me at: oliver@prepredzone.com or DM me at Twitter @OJW_Scouting. Now up: Class AAA! Meet your All-Section Team from the Quarterfinal round on Tuesday. Make sure you check out the Class AAA Semifinal squad that came out today as well! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>--</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><em>Quarterback</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First Team: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>John Henry Berntsen </strong>(<em>Breck</em>) 2026. 5'10, 165 lbs. - Threw 4 TD passes in win over <em>Brooklyn Center,</em> 3 TD passes in the last 7 minutes of the ball game </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Second Team: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hadyn Boraas</strong> (<em>Zumbrota-Mazeppa</em>) 2027. 6'3, 200 lbs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Third Team: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brecken Elfering </strong>(<em>Melrose Area</em>) 2028. 6'1, 175 lbs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Honorable Mention: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Graham Helgerson</strong> (Jordan) 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><em>Running Back</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First Team: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Datione Warren </strong><em>(MPLS Camden</em>) 2027. 5'8, 160 lbs. - 33 rushes for 222 yards and 3 TDs in win over <em>Concordia Academy </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1633392' first='Anthony' last='Taylor'] </strong>(<em>Litchfield</em>) 2027. 6'3, 200 lbs. - 4 rushes for 165 yards and 4 TDs in big win over <em>Montevideo</em> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Miles Wildman</strong> (<em>Minnewaska Area)</em> 2027. 5'7, 155 lbs. - 6 rushes for 186 yards and 3 TDs in big win over <em>Park Rapids Area </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1581343' first='Brody' last='Lillo']</strong> (<em>Esko</em>) 2026. 5'11, 155 lbs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Second Team: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1658187' first='Alpha' last='Meaway']</strong> (<em>Brooklyn Center</em>) 2028. - 23 rushes for 178 yards and 1 TD in loss to <em>Breck</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaxon Ewert </strong>(<em>Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted</em>) 2027. 5'11, 220 lbs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Samuel Stangler</strong> (<em>Melrose Area)</em> 2027. 6'2, 205 lbs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1256233' first='Evons' last='Plamann']</strong> (<em>St. Agnes) </em>2026. - 27 rushes for 151 yards and 1 TD in loss to<em> St. Croix Lutheran </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Third Team: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Spencer Anderson </strong>(<em>Thief River Falls</em>) 2027. 6'2, 185 lbs. - 20 for 147 and 1 TD in <em>TRF</em> win over <em>Morris Area</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Logan Dahlman</strong> (<em>Esko</em>) 2027. 6', 185 lbs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Keegan O'Meara</strong> (<em>Tri-City United)</em> 2027. 5'8, 155 lbs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mikko Boben </strong>(<em>Hibbing</em>) 2028. 6'2, 190 lbs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Honorable Mention: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gavin Griffin</strong> (<em>Perham</em>) 2027. - 17 rushes for 90 yards and 2 TDs in win over <em>East Grand Forks</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Riley Dell</strong> (<em>Minnewaska Area</em>) 2026. 6', 195 lbs. - 20 rushes for 103 yards and 1 TD in big win over <em>Park Rapids Area</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Raydon Graham</strong> (<em>Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted)</em> 2026. 5'5, 155 lbs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nolan Ford </strong>(<em>Plainview-Elgin-Millville</em>) 2026. - 32 rushes for 137 yards and 1 TD in loss to<em> Lake City </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Aiden Graner</strong> (<em>Plainview-Elgin-Millville</em>) 2026. - 15 rushes for 101 yards and 1 TD in loss to <em>Lake City </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><em>Wide Receiver/Tight End</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First Team: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1395226' first='Oliver' last='Kuhn']</strong> (<em>Breck</em>) 2026. 6'1, 200 lbs.
