Football Field Victory

Maple Grove, MN – In a big shake-up in the Minnesota high school football scene, Maple Grove has risen to the top of the rankings after a strong performance last weekend. The Crimson leapfrogged former No. 1 Edina, who suffered a surprising loss to No. 5 Minnetonka. Maple Grove’s 21-14 win over Cedar Rapids helped them take the No. 1 spot in the latest top 25 list.

In their game against Centennial, Maple Grove came back from a 14-7 deficit at halftime. It was Charles Langama‘s 21-yard touchdown run that ultimately sealed the game for the Crimson, showcasing their determination and skill. Quarterback Kaden Harney shone, throwing one touchdown and scoring another himself. The Crimson’s defense put in a solid effort, stopping a late Centennial drive that threatened to tie the game. This win is significant as Maple Grove prepares to face No. 20 Anoka next.

Meanwhile, Minnetonka’s stunning comeback against Edina was a game for the ages. Down by 21 points in the second half, the Skippers rallied to score four touchdowns, taking the game 35-28. This turnaround not only disrupted Edina’s perfect season but also showcased Minnetonka’s resilience and skill. Both their foundations are now set for a high-octane matchup with No. 10 Prior Lake coming up soon.

Looking ahead, teams like Lakeville North and Shakopee remain in the hunt for the top spots as they prepare for crucial games with each other. Lakeville North recently ended a five-game losing streak against Lakeville South with a nail-biting 35-31 win, while Shakopee is also riding a wave of momentum.

With the season heating up and teams clawing for position, fans can expect more thrilling matches this weekend. The rankings continue to shift, showing how competitive the league is this year!
