2024 MN High School Football thread

I know coaches wanted seeding and one year is a small sample size, but last year’s games were more competitive than in 2024? It will be interesting how it plays moving forward.

It was two years and comparing last year to this year is difficult when teams lose a whole class of kids each year.

This year had 1 dominant team in my opinion and a handful of other quality teams, that depended a lot on matchups each week.

In the end MG beat Tonka X2, Shakopee, Edina, Eden Prairie, Anoka, and Blaine.

There is a ton of D1 talent across the board.

I think he's talking about all classes as there wasn't a close competitive game except for 5A and nine-person

6A’s bracket hasn’t changed. I’m referring to the other classes. As an example, I was hoping Minnesota v Springfield would have been a better game.

I think it’s hard sometimes due to geography to get perfect seeding. Add to it that these teams aren’t always familiar with each other and a bad matchup can happen.

Sections usually end up being rematches from the season. Coaches are familiar with the opponents.

Minneota’s toughest games were to a section team Bold

MG and Tonka saw each other
Alexandria and Elk River Saw each other
9-player was a good match up with teams scoring way under their season averages

Sometimes championship games can go bad for teams and feel like 41- doughnut.

Jackson, Stewartville and Becker are really good.

I feel like that’s more true this year because maple grove had a huge chasm between teams 2-3-4-5 and in retrospect 2-5 might have all been from same section (Tonka, shakopee, Edina, Eden prairie)

Maple grove may have had the toughest road to championship ever. I believe they played Burnsville than teams 2-5 in next 4 rounds
