Thanks!

I'm going to ask this again, since it dropped off... Are there there any real definitive sources for MN high school football records, or do they not exist since everything has to be self-reported by the schools? I feel like of all the sports, high school football has the worst record keeping.

I played a game there back in 1990. It was a total dump then.

The new stadium/field looks really nice. They were one of the last big schools to still have a grass field, and it was a shitty field 35 years ago. If I recall, they hadn't been able to host a track meet since the 90's it was so bad.

Kids are specializing earlier and earlier. And it probably hurts football the most, as it's a short season sport. Nearly everything else except maybe golf, is nearly year-round with club teams/tournaments.

Makes me happy to see Forest Lake being pretty good the last few years after how historically terrible they were for so long.

I think USF might actually be a pretty good football team this year.

UCLA is the doormat of the B1G.

Wayzata is starting school the week before LD next year.

Correct.

I think quite a few districts are starting the week before next year.

Which brings up a question I've had for quite sometime, but always forget to ask. Are there there any real definitive sources for MN high school football records, or do they not exist since everything has to be self-reported by the schools? I feel like of all the sports, high school football...

Was at the Wayzata - Andover game last night. Wayzata keeps getting ranked based on being the biggest school in the state. They are not a good team, and they weren't last season either. And this is coming from a fan since my kid plays in the youth program.

Allegedly, the reason for MN starting after Labor Day is because of lobbying from the State Fair, and resort owners. But honestly, I think it's fairly popular and a move to start earlier would not be well-received in general when July and August are the most consistently warm and sunny months...

How do you mean school districts are moving boundaries? They can move attendance areas within districts, but no district is losing or gaining area. School districts are units of government with the ability to collect taxes. No district is going to agree to lose tax revenue. Forest Lake only...
