Gophers offer 5 from Fargo-Moorhead area for 2027

[swede2]

It is crazy the amount of talent that comes out of a town that size.

The city itself isn't very large, but the district is fairly expansive and buts up to and includes parts of very rapidly growing West Fargo and Horace, and outlying, fast growing populated and affluent areas of Fargo and West Fargo.

A similar scenario exists (less so these days) in Harrisburg, SD, which puts out DI talent, including a recent, brief Gopher QB Knuth. The city of Harrisburg 20 years ago was less than 1,000 people but the school district included fairly populated rural subdivisions between Sioux Falls and Harrisburg and more importantly, vast swaths of south Sioux Falls. Harrisburg itself has now grown quite a lot but by and large, most of its students live in Sioux Falls city limits rather than Harrisburg city limits.

These towns are like suburbs. There not isolated islands of football like Minneota.

I am super curious if Moorhead can make a run at the 6a title this year

They didn’t even make state but were in my opinion a top 3 5a team in the state last year. A ton back.

They’re running the gauntlet schedule wise

If we do nobody can say we didn't earn it. That's a tough schedule.

Its still weird to me that Horace has it's own high school now. Im not used to that yet. Horace girls basketball won ND state championship last year.

Good to see FM contributing to both my teams. Minnesota State-Moorhead just added a couple wide receiver recruits from West Fargo as well.

It’s a gauntlet

The west and south are deep right now
The north might be the most interesting to me the east is the most boring

And West Fargo has two high schools now!
