2025 Minnesota High School Football Thread

I live in the central part of the state. Here is my .02 on the class A and AA games listed


Minneota will win by a large margin.

Upsala swanville will win by 3+ scores. A-B-E doesnt have the size, speed, or discipline to play with good teams. Several ineligible players I had heard from grades and drinking through the season

Pillager over S-M In a barn burner. I think Pillager is ready to make the jump this year. Couple highly recruited players and thuer SIZE will be hard for any team to deal with moving forward
Yeah, it would be a good upset if Minneota lost. They should probably win by 25+

Yeah, hadn't heard abouyt the A-B-E issues and not familiar with the rosters but if Upsala has the bigger more athletic team you would have to take them.

Pillager looks good for sure.
 

The new large league no longer has playoffs. They play games and have competitive match-ups for a bowl game tomorrow. Then if teams want to they can play in a 3-game tournament next weekend at the National Sports Center against teams from MN and WI.
There are a bunch of leagues and most have playoffs
 


Crazy night of upsets

Edina over Minnetonka 27-20
Mounds View over Forest Lake 28-23
Osseo over Andover 23-21
STMA over Moorhead 29-27
Farmington over Shakopee 15-6

I’m mind blown
Tonka - Edina was an ugly one.
 

Tonka - Edina was an ugly one.
So was MV and FL. Even in a few years ago when FL was 6-2 and MV was 2-6 and 4-4 the games went right down to the end of the game for FL to win. MV just seems to be a terrible matchup for FL. MV just struggles with Stillwater every year and FL plays Stillwater tough every year and even won last year.

In what way?

Will be interesting to see how these upsets affect the seeding.

Looks like Prior Lake gave South a battle but South came out on top so it will be South at Rosemount next week in a winner take all matchup in the South Metro.

MV matches up and plays the option well on defense. Shakopee struggled to beat them last year as well. 6A has some parity to it because of matchups.

Seeing a lot of scores that suggest some wide open playoff action coming.

Blaine scored the tying TD against Centennial and had it called back.

Hutch destroyed TG.
Mahtomedi beat Cretin by one
Byron beat Stewartville by 3

Hard to get teens to consistently show up for games especially if they scoreboard watch or to get the focused after big win.

Shakopee must be injured as they lose to Farmington who just lost to Eagan.
 



Will be really interesting to see what happens with Maple Grove and Minnetonka play on the 15th. Those two definitely feel like they are a cut above everyone else.

But anything can happen once you get to playoffs...
On any given Friday
