It will be interesting if Lombardi stays at Tonka as DC next year or if he looks for a new gig. I believe it lives up in STMA. HC jobs can be hard to find however. He may have found being an assistant comes with an easier life.
Correct. If 2023 enrollments are indicative of 2024, the schools mentioned would be top 32.
now 4. 15 minutes in and there's 42 points on the board. 28-14.
I take full credit for Nelson's coaching success later on in life. He learned the Art of Discipline trying to deal with me in gym class at Northdale Jr. High.
Only two games did Minneota win by less than 30. Both were against BOLD (28 and 6).

Not only good, but those boys look like they bench silos for breakfast. That offensive line just ran downhill all game long. And, their defense shutdown Springfield in the 2nd half.
Programs that tend to win have wonderful speed and lifting programs. Kids just look different.
I don't always see things clearly, but this one turned out just like I thought it would... 500+ yards rushing in the title game is a thrashing. I also wish commentators would stop with the 2nd best team when talking about Springfield. Sure they get the 2nd place trophy, but they most likely are not he 2nd best team in class 1A
State Tournament Finalist or Runner Up should be the proper designation.
By enrollment, Minneota is closer to a 9-man program, only graduating 43 people this year. Such consistency comes, as Reusse said, with committed parents, teachers, coaches, and students.
A coworker of mine grew up in Jackson. He didn't have high hopes for them after Voss went down but they played great.
Marcus Brumm was the quarterback. Mitch Leidner graduated in 2012 and South took second in 2006.
Yeah, probably not quite big enough or fast enough for the power 4 level but could be a really good RB at the FCS level. He was impressive.
What I was referring to is how good are they? if they played a 3A schedule do they go 6-2? I wasn't questioning if they need to move up...
Both teams playing with back up QBs was a let down. SM was a high powered offense when healthy and showed how high powered they were with their best WR having to play QB most of the game. Hard to say how it goes if Both Qbs were around at the end of the game.
