Minnesota High School Football Championships: Prep Bowl Predictions and Previews
The Minnesota high school football season is reaching its climax, with the Prep Bowl set to kick off on Friday at U.S. Bank Stadium. Four of the seven state champions will be crowned, and fans can catch the action on KSTC-Ch. 45 or stream the games for free at https://kstp.com/45tv/prep45/mshsl-tournaments/. In this article, we’ll break down each of the four championship games, providing expert analysis and predictions.
Class A: Minneota vs. Breckenridge
Minneota is seeking its fourth consecutive state title and 46th straight win, but Breckenridge is looking to spoil the party. The Vikings’ opponent boasts a balanced offense that could potentially challenge Minneota’s defense. This game has all the makings of a thriller, with both teams capable of putting up points. Our prediction: Minneota 34, Breckenridge 31.
Class 4A: Orono vs. Kasson-Mantorville
Both Orono and Kasson-Mantorville won their semifinal games in dramatic fashion, and we expect another low-scoring affair on Friday. Orono’s senior quarterback Griffin Mauer has been a playmaker all season, and if the game comes down to the wire, he could be the difference-maker. Our pick: Orono 20, Kasson-Mantorville 16.
Class 2A: Jackson County Central vs. Goodhue
Jackson County Central’s Roman Voss, a Gophers athlete commit, gets his chance to shine on the big stage after missing the state title game two years ago due to injury. Goodhue’s stingy defense will look to contain Voss and the Huskies’ offense. Our prediction: Jackson County Central 21, Goodhue 14.
Class 6A: Edina vs. Moorhead
Get ready for a high-scoring affair as Edina and Moorhead face off in the Class 6A championship game. These two teams combined for 95 points in a mid-October meeting, and we expect more of the same on Friday. With both teams boasting potent passing offenses, it’s anyone’s game. Our pick: Moorhead 38, Edina 35.
