PrepRedzoneMN, as always, has your most comprehensive recap of the week's best games, most notable results, and clutchest individual performances from International Falls down to Albert Lea. Get to know Minnesota's Heroes of Week 6 below!   --   MN's Week 6 Hero of the Week: [player_tooltip player_id='1104940' first='Carson' last='Heimer'] (Byron) 2026. ATH. 6'1, 200 lbs. - Committed to MSU-Mankato   Byron 34, Kasson-Mantorville 20   Battle of Class 4A Top 3 state title contenders in Minnesota's Week 6 was all Byron. Specifically, it was once again all [player_tooltip player_id='1104940' first='Carson' last='Heimer']. A leading candidate for the vaunted Mr. Football Award, Heimer popped off for 35 carries for 261 yards and 3 TDs while starting as a safety for the Bears' physical defense (Byron doesn't upload defensive stats) and leading the way for a strong win over one of 4A's top contenders. Tied 20-20 at halftime and at the end of the 3rd quarter, Byron came out firing in the 4th, first with a 2-yard Heimer TD carry and then with a 45-yard fumble return for a touchdown by junior DB [player_tooltip player_id='1657620' first='Mateusz' last='Kawczynski'] to put the game away late. I wouldn't be surprised to see these two meeting again in November.   Hero: [player_tooltip player_id='1104940' first='Carson' last='Heimer'] (Byron) 2026. ATH. 6'1, 200 lbs. Committed to MSU-Mankato. - 35 rushes for 261 yards and 3 TDs   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/nathanhawk1ns/status/1974455712865771648 </div></figure>   Eden Prairie 34, Moorhead 33   Fireworks in the Big School Class 6A ranks! Moorhead nearly pulled off a massive upset, as well as a glass-shattering "welcome to 6A" win over perennial contender and top talent producer Eden Prairie High School with a nail-biting 34-33 finish, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. The Spuds' tremendous Friday night effort was produced by 6'7 junior backup QB [player_tooltip player_id='1662721' first='Austin' last='Dryburgh'], who threw 21 completions on 28 attempts for 257 yards and 5 TD and 0 INTs thanks in large part to superstar 2027 wideout [player_tooltip player_id='1629849' first='David' last='Mack'], who caught 11 passes for 150 yards and 3 TDs against a stingy Eagles back-seven. Pretty crazy individual showing from a backup junior thrown in the 6A mix midseason, but Dryburgh seems to be settling in well as the starter, where he can showcase that massive arm and athletic upside. However, Eden Prairie was bale to narrowly squeak this one out despite losing 21-20 at half and 27-26 at the start of the 4th, surrendering a potential go-ahead TD with 24 seconds left in the game, but the 2pt conversion attempt from Dryburgh to Mack was unsuccessful and Eden Prairie earned a tight, hard-fought W thanks to their ever-imposing rushing attack. [player_tooltip player_id='1665895' first='Windlan' last='Hall'] is our Hero of the Game, a tough, explosive two-way starter who posted 12 rushes for 132 yards and 2 TDs while starting on the perimeter against the Spuds' excellent passing game.   Hero: [player_tooltip player_id='1665895' first='Windlan' last='Hall'] (Eden Prairie) 2027. RB/CB. - 12 rushes for 132 yards and 2 TDs   Honorable Mention: [player_tooltip player_id='1662721' first='Austin' last='Dryburgh'] (Moorhead) 2027. QB. 6'7, 200 lbs.   [player_tooltip player_id='1629849' first='David' last='Mack'] (Moorhead) 2027. WR. 6', 170 lbs. - 11 passes for 150 yards and 3 TDs   [player_tooltip player_id='1893142' first='Owen' last='Konrad'] (Eden Prairie) 2028. RB. 5'11, 165 lbs. - 19 rushes for 143 yards and 1 TD   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AustinDryb27/status/1974546803199762894 </div></figure>   Rochester Mayo 33, Rochester John Marshall 27   Fun intracity 507 one-score finish out of Rochester and the Class 5A ranks. Mayo High School, led by 2025 season breakout star Isaac Peterson, scored 19 unanswered points to stun the Rockets and retain the Addington Jug, smothering any hope of RJM retaining the jug for the first time since 2015. It was also Mayo's sixth year in a row retaining the Addington Jug, and boy did the Spartans earn it, scoring three touchdowns in the final 7:15 in the ball game, capped by a Peterson to Gavin Werneburg pitch & catch in the corner of the endzone to give Mayo a one-point lead with just 16 seconds left. Prior to that, Mayo's Charlie Kipp picked off an errant Rockets pass inside his own 10-yard line, giving our Game Hero the perfect platform for what will remain as a legendary comeback. Mayo's 2025 season has been electric, to say the least!   Hero: Isaac Peterson (Rochester Mayo) 2026. QB. 6'5, 185 lbs. - 20-37 for 272 yards and 2 TDs   Honorable Mention: [player_tooltip player_id='1147593' first='Arsene' last='Lukong'] (Rochester John Marshall) 2026. RB. 5'11, 200 lbs. - 12 carries for 145 yards and 1 TD   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AlexVandenhout1/status/1974287260372636081 </div></figure>   Eagan 13, Farmington 10 (OT)   Nothing like some free football to rile up the Friday night crowd in Eagan! After the Wildcats scored the game's opening touchdown in the first quarter, this slugfest of a 6A showdown remaining scoreless until what became a very tightly-contested 4th quarter of action up at Eagan High School last Friday. After Wildcat specialist Sawyer Haglund hit his first of two FGs to put Eagan up 10-0 with only one quarter of play left, Farmington came roaring back, using a 10-yard TD pass from senior QB [player_tooltip player_id='1255911' first='Cade' last='Boyles'] to junior 6', 190 lb. WR Ty Beck, but a late 32-yard FG by Aidan Roche knotted the game up at 10, sending the 6A combatants into overtime, where Haglund once again proved his FG proficiency, as well as the ice in his veins, by nailing a 21-yard walk-off that he nor his teammates won't soon forget!   Hero: Sawyer Haglund (Eagan) 2026. K/P. 5'4, 150 lbs. - Game-winning, walk-off 21-yard FG earned his Wildcats the overtime victory in thrilling fashion. Also kicked another 21-yard FG successfully in the 4th quarter.   <a href="https://fan.hudl.com/usa/mn/eagan/organization/17144/eagan-high-school/team/33751/boys-varsity-football/watch?hr=SGlnaGxpZ2h0UmVlbFN1bW1hcnk2OGUwYTIzOTY5MDE2MWJhOWE5OWY4Yzc%3D&ot=TEAM&oi=33751">https://fan.hudl.com/usa/mn/eagan/organization/17144/eagan-high-school/team/33751/boys-varsity-football/watch?hr=SGlnaGxpZ2h0UmVlbFN1bW1hcnk2OGUwYTIzOTY5MDE2MWJhOWE5OWY4Yzc%3D&ot=TEAM&oi=33751</a>   Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta 38, Litchfield 36   Litchfield has been one of my favorite teams to follow in 2025, as the Dragons, led by the electric senior stock riser Alexander Medina-Lizarraga, have been putting up stat-stuffing performances all season long. However, the Dragons ran into a brick wall that is Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta, with the two squads coming together to create a barnburner of a Class AAA contest that was close all four quarters. Starting slow but ending explosively, this was a 7-3 ball game after the first (Litchfield lead), 21-21 tie game at half, and then 24-23 in favor of the home team Dragons, but the Tigers put their foot on the gas in the 4th, and that one-point difference at the end of the 3rd quarter ended up making a difference. Litchfield's [player_tooltip player_id='1633392' first='Anthony' last='Taylor'], a budding D1-potential prospect in the 2027 class, scored on a 13-yard scamper with 1:29 left, but the ensuing 2pt conversion was unsuccessful, and the Tigers walked away with a heckuva road win in Minnesota's Week 6. Both squads are 3-3 going into Week 7!   Hero: Alex Asmus (Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta) 2027. WR. 6'3, 165 lbs. - 7 catches for 174 yards and 1 TD   Honorable Mention: [player_tooltip player_id='1633392' first='Anthony' last='Taylor'] (Litchfield) 2027. RB/LB. 6'2, 205 lbs. - 19 catches for 193 yards and 3 TDs, 1 catch for 42 yards, 5 tackles   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AnthonyTay4271/status/1969833067339550814 </div></figure>   Rocori 34, Fergus Falls 12   One of the biggest upsets of MN's Week 6, 4-1 Rocori toppled Class 4A Top 5 undefeated Fergus Falls in a smack down in Cold Spring, where Rocori was having a Hall of Fame ceremony that included Golden Gophers legend Eric Decker, and 8-year NFL vet and 2005 grad. It was all Spartans, all night, highlighted by performances from Rocori's two-headed monster of QB Max Fredin and ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1576392' first='Caleb' last='Maddox']. Spartans got up early and never looked back, throttling forward into the Class 4A state title conversation.   Hero: [player_tooltip player_id='1576392' first='Caleb' last='Maddox'] (Rocori) 2026. ATH. - 1-2 passing for 23 yards and 1 TD, 8 rushes for 32 yards and 2 TDs, 1 catch for 8 yards, 3 tackles   Honorable Mention: Max Fredin (Rocori) 2026.

Senior gunslinger [player_tooltip player_id='1491934' first='Joseph' last='Mapson'] continues to play like a potential Mr. Football Finalist, as the 180 lber., down 10 with 10 minutes left in the fourth, once again putting the team on his back as threw for a 21-yard TD to make the score 31-27 with 7:38 left in the game, and after the teams traded possessions, Mapson found pay dirt on a two-yard TD scamper with 3:47 left in the ball game, the ultimate game winner. Aidan Wiegert also had a big day for the Huskies, catching 8 passes for 183 yards and 1 TD in the win. I'm really bullish on this Andover squad in 2025. Thriving against 6A talent in their inaugural season up in the Big School ranks, the Huskies know how to finish out tight ball games and have some big wins under their belt. Mapson is going to make whatever college program that lands him VERY happy sometime soon as well.   Hero: Collin Gravink (Andover) 2026. ATH. - 16 rushes for 88 yards and 1 TD, 1 catch for 21 yards and 1 TD   Honorable Mention: [player_tooltip player_id='1120534' first='Ethan' last='Fortin'] (Rogers) 2026. QB. 6', 190 lbs. - Threw for 2 TDs and ran for another in the loss   [player_tooltip player_id='1491934' first='Joseph' last='Mapson'] (Andover) 2026.

WR. 5'11, 185 lbs. - 8 catches for 183 yards and 1 TD   Gage Roeder (Andover) 2026.

Also hard not to feel bad for the Tornadoes, who have lost their last three contests by a combined six points. #3: [player_tooltip player_id='1633474' first='Preston' last='Nelson'] is one of the season's biggest stock risers, and last Friday night was #1's show.   Yes, it was also a night for [player_tooltip player_id='1120517' first='Blake' last='Sieben'], but the Tornadoes didn't come out on top, but both playmakers put together eye-popping individual efforts that stuffed the stat sheet and then some. The game was also about as tight as they come. 7-6 Anoka after one, 21-21 at half, 28-28 after three, and the game came down to an ultimately-unsuccessful 2pt attempt by Anoka, who was going for the win on the road after Sieben's sixth and final TD of the night. What a thriller out in Champlin in Week 6!   Hero: [player_tooltip player_id='1633474' first='Preston' last='Nelson'] (Champlin Park) 2027. RB. - 21 rushes for 171 yards and 4 TDs   Honorable Mention: [player_tooltip player_id='1120517' first='Blake' last='Sieben'] (Anoka) 2027. QB. - 19-29 for 223 yards and 3 TDs to 1 INT, 19 rushes for 134 yards and 3 TDs   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/preston_nelson1/status/1974936511088070738 </div></figure>   Bloomington Jefferson 24, St. Louis Park 17   Section 5AAAAA matchup that went down to the wire between first ring suburb opponents! Bloomington Jefferson, battling for their second win of the season, had one of the most exciting finishes you'll see all season as do-it-all sleeper Abe Bruggeman, found the endzone on a 79-yard thrilling final score to cap off a fantastic night for the talented senior. Very much due for a rankings bump, Bruggeman finished his night with 23 carries for 285 yards and 3 TDs, including the game-winner, verifying both his playmaking ability and clutch gene in a game's brightest moment.   Hero: Abe Bruggeman (Bloomington Jefferson) 2026. ATH. - 23 carries for 285 yards and 3 TDs   Honorable Mention: [player_tooltip player_id='551390' first='Mason' last='Helfmann'] (St. Louis Park) 2026. RB/LB. - 12 carries for 23 yards, 7 catches for 78 yards and 1 TD, 14 tackles   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Abram_Bruggeman/status/1974929271169888758 </div></figure>   Springfield 28, Sleepy Eye United 22 (OT)   Our Class A #1 went down to the wire with a tough 1-4 Sleepy Eye United squad last Friday night in Week 6. Springfield, despite a roster stocked with talent in the 2026, 2027, and 2028 classes, were suffocated by the Storm's defense for the first three quarters of the ball game, finding themselves down 22-9 at the start of the fourth quarter after a Brayden Heiderscheidt TD run and ensuing 2pt conversion catch, but the defending Class A runner-up Tigers showed their grit and big-game experience in the following seven minutes. Stud 2027 QB [player_tooltip player_id='1633417' first='Parker' last='Kuehn'] found Leo Hovland for six, followed by a 2pt conversion by [player_tooltip player_id='1655354' first='Madden' last='Lendt'], and with only 1:04 left in the ball game monster 2027 jumbo ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1288305' first='Aiden' last='Moriarty'] tied the game up from 16-yards out. However, the 2pt attempt was unsuccessful, and we had ourselves some free football in the 507! However, Kuehn found senior [player_tooltip player_id='1666356' first='Isaac' last='Fredin'] for a 10-yard score to end the ball game in the overtime period, finishing off a tough, hard-fought win in the middle of the season from a Class A heavyweight.   Hero: [player_tooltip player_id='1666356' first='Isaac' last='Fredin'] (Springfield) 2026. WR/DB. - Caught the game-winning pass in OT   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ParkerJKuehn12/status/1972344797344985430 </div></figure>   Marshall 13, Orono 12   Heavyweight Class 4A showdown went down at Southwest Minnesota State's game field in Minnesota's Week 6 between the hosting Marshall Tigers and the visiting Orono Spartans, who traveled quite the distance for this intraclass, but not intra-section, rivalry. Down 12-7 until less than a minute remaining in the ball game, 6', 205 lb. senior [player_tooltip player_id='591747' first='Andrew' last='Stelter'] scored the go-ahead TD with 45 seconds left in the ball game, plunging ahead for a one-yard score to put his Tigers ahead in front of the 507 home crowd. 6-0 Marshall once again look like a state title contender in the 4A ranks, having pumped their previous five opponents by a combined score of 201-19, and earn their toughest win of the developing 2025 season during Week 6. Start putting some money on Marshall in the upcoming Class 4A state title race, folks.   Hero: [player_tooltip player_id='591747' first='Andrew' last='Stelter'] (Marshall) 2026. ATH. 6', 205 lbs. - Scored the go-ahead, game-winning rushing TD from 1-yard out with 45 seconds left in the ball game   <a href="https://fan.hudl.com/usa/mn/marshall/organization/8118/marshall-high-school/team/19809/boys-varsity-football/watch?hr=SGlnaGxpZ2h0UmVlbFN1bW1hcnk2OGUxN2NhODY5MTUzNjhlYTg0NzNmM2I%3D&ot=TEAM&oi=19809">https://fan.hudl.com/usa/mn/marshall/organization/8118/marshall-high-school/team/19809/boys-varsity-football/watch?hr=SGlnaGxpZ2h0UmVlbFN1bW1hcnk2OGUxN2NhODY5MTUzNjhlYTg0NzNmM2I%3D&ot=TEAM&oi=19809</a>   Alexandria 36, Bemidji 35   It's been a fun few years of being an Alexandria Cardinals football fan, and the Cards' faithful turned up on the winning end of a Week 6 thriller again Bemidji, 36-35, improving to 5-1 in the 2025 season. Alexandria Area went to battle with the Bemidji Lumberjacks in a 5A back-and-forth matchup that the Lumberjacks seemed to have slight control of for most of the game. Led by the explosiveness of 2026 5'11, 135 lber. [player_tooltip player_id='1903244' first='Rhys' last='Sneide'], who posted 5 rushes for 104 yards and 2 TDs in the loss, Bemidji led by 12 points going into the 4th after the two sides went back-and-forth with TDs until Bemidji went back-to-back on scores early in the third quarter. Sitting at a 35-23 deficit with one quarter of play remaining, 2025 PRZMN Breakout Player of the Midseason Talan Witt took control of the Cards' offense, spearheaded by a powerful rushing attack by 5'8, 180 lb. senior Brody Berg, who went for 25-200-2 TDs on Friday night. The senior NSIC basketball commit Witt found Game Hero Jackson Waltzing for a 15-yard pitch & catch to bring the score to a 35-29 line after the 2pt was unsuccessful, and Waltzing again found paydirt on a run later in the 4th, after which his defense stepped up to turn Bemidji over on downs. Completing the win in a contest that featured six lead changes and five turnover, as well as 949 yards of combined offense. I like both these teams going into the upcoming postseason.   Hero: Jackson Waltzing (Alexandria Area) 2027. WR/RB. 5'8, 160 lbs. - 9 rushes for 54 yards and 1 TD, 1 catch for 15 yards and 1 TD   Honorable Mention: Brody Berg (Alexandria Area) 2026. RB. 5'8, 180 lbs. - 25 carries for 200 yards and 2 TDs   [player_tooltip player_id='1903244' first='Rhys' last='Sneide'] (Bemidji) 2026.

There's yet another standout "Dean" at Lakeville South, as 2027 Griffin Dean follows in the footsteps of his now-Sioux Falls gunslinging brothers, and he got the scoring off to a hot start with the games opening touchdown 5:51 into the 1st. 2025 TD-machine [player_tooltip player_id='482343' first='Nic' last='Swanson'] made the score 14-0 early in the 2nd quarter, but Edina's explosive offense had an answer, as future Chicago Blackhawk [player_tooltip player_id='592125' first='Mason' last='West'] found stud RB [player_tooltip player_id='923840' first='Chase' last='Bjorgaard'] for back-to-back TD throws, and going into the half we sat at a 14-14 ball game. The Cougars scored on a FG in the 3rd, but the 4th quarter was when the fireworks popped off, as Dean scored with a little less than eight minutes left in the 4th, Edina answered three minutes later, and then Game Hero Myles Krinkie intercepted West and returned the pick for a TD, which managed to be the hold off the Hornets late attempt at a W, as West found Jamestown commit [player_tooltip player_id='212361' first='Jabari' last='Strader'] on a 30-yard score with 50 seconds left. Close, but no cigar.   Hero: Myles Krinkie (Lakeville South) 2027. DB. - Game-winning pick-six with 2:32 left in regulation. Hid midseason tape is below!   Honorable Mention: Terynce Wheeler (Lakeville South) 2026. K. 6'2, 175 lbs. - 3/4 on PATs and kicked a 23-yard FG in the 3rd quarter that ended up being the crucial score of the contest.   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18685814/68e3070c9c4dae332bc4390d">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18685814/68e3070c9c4dae332bc4390d</a>   Other Notable Results   Grand Rapids 40, North Branch 8 - North Branch came into the matchup undefeated   Jordan 29, Glencoe-Silver Lake 26   Lester Prairie 24, Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop 22   Coon Rapids 9, Park of Cottage Grove 7 - first win of the season for Coon Rapids   Winona Cotter 21, Zumbrota-Mazeppa 14 - Winona Cotter moves to 5-1 on the 2025 season   Bagley 29, Pine River-Backus 22   Chanhassen 28, Chaska 14 - Chaska was without their two top offensive weapons and rushers, particularly Midseason POY candidate Matthew Welter, a 6'6, 210 lb. dual-threat of a QB, as well as RB1 [player_tooltip player_id='1695556' first='Justin' last='Greathouse'].   Southland 28, United South Central 22   Mabel-Canton 26, Spring Grove 20 - Mabel-Canton is 6-0 and took down a tough 9man competitor in the Lions, proving more legitimacy in their Class 9man state title contention   Maple Grove 35, St. Michael-Albertville 24 - 21-10 Crimson going into the 4th, but two straight TDs from STMA gave the Knights a brief lead before the Crimson came storming back with two TDs of their own. [player_tooltip player_id='402073' first='James' last='Engle'] went for an astounding 18 carries for 220 yards and 5 TDs!   Greenway/Nashwauk-Keewatin 26, Mesabi East 22   Staples-Motley 20, Barnesville 16 - Not enough people are talking about Staples-Motley in the Class AA race. A big matchup with fellow undefeated and Class AA top contender Pillager awaits the Cardinals on October 10th.   SMB 34, Concordia Academy 28   Minneapolis Southwest 7, Minneapolis Camden 6   Breck 18, Brooklyn Center 12 - [player_tooltip player_id='1658187' first='Alpha' last='Meaway'], Brooklyn Center's developing superstar of a RB recruit, popped off for 15 carries for 236 yards and 1 TD in the loss. He's been unstoppable so far this season. However, Breck pulled off the W, and although there isn't any information available online regarding who and how the Mustangs pulled off the victory, the Section 4AAA contender and peer move to 5-1 on the season with a big matchup against 6-0 St. Croix Lutheran coming on October 10th. Section 4AAA is one of the most fun in small school football this fall.
