Default High school football state champs!

After going 12-1 last season, with the only loss being in the state championship game, our high school football team finished the deal this season by winning our first-ever football state title with a perfect 13-0 record! We were ranked #1 to start the season in our class (2nd biggest of 7 classes in MN) and never gave up that spot.

The only close game we had was the third week of the season when we played on the road against a conference rival of ours who happened to be ranked #2 at the time. We won 24-21 on a 38 yard field goal as time expired. Our next closest game after that was a 20 point win in the state semi-finals.

We returned all of our "skill position players" from last year except one...our record-setting QB of the past 2+ seasons graduated. A good friend of ours (Ian) who had been waiting in the wings the past two years finally got his chance as a senior, and he took full advantage of it.

In week 4 he broke the school record for passing TDs in a game. The old record was 4. He threw SIX TD passes...in the FIRST HALF! And he didn't play a down in the second half.

He also tied the school record for TDs in a season with 21. We didn't pass much the last 6 games of the season because we didn't need to, and he only threw 1 TD pass in that span. There were also TWO other games where he didn't play at all in the second half because we were so far ahead at halftime. And on top of that, we had two other games shortened due to lightning -- one after just SIX MINUTES of the first quarter (we won 23-0!) and the other one at halftime (we won 42-6).

Our main running back, who had set school records last year with 1500+ yards and 20+ TDs, eclipsed both of those marks this year (also without playing in the second half of the games mentioned above). He ran for 2000+ yards and scored 28 TDs.

And our defense this year was just ridiculous. Other than the 24-21 win mentioned above, there was ONE other game where our starting defense gave up more than 7 points. In the playoffs, we won by scores of 49-20 (starters were pulled at 42-0), 42-0, 32-0, 27-7 and 24-0. The last 4 games were all against teams ranked in the top 15 and the semis and finals were against #5 and #3. The 7 points allowed in the semi-final game came on a 4th and goal from our 24 yard line where the other team completed sort of a Hail Mary in the corner of the end zone.

It was an unbelievable season and it was fun to be able to attend most of the games! We graduate a ton of starters from this year's squad, so it will be interesting to see how we do next year.
