Top 25 Minnesota high school football rankings (10/2/2023)

Waseca

The Bluejays went on the road against Jordan and dominated the Hubmen winning 47-14. Kaeden Johnson led the way for Waseco, rushing for two touchdowns along with a 70-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

Fairmont

The Cardinals have yet to find their match this season. They thrashed New Ulm 42-14 on Friday to remain undefeated.

Becker

The Bulldogs faced their biggest test of the year so far as the then 3-1 Hutchinson Tigers came to town looking to spoil their undefeated season. Becker though would use a big third quarter to help them hang on to win 21-20.

North Branch

Ever since its opening week loss to Pequot Lakes, North Branch has been on fire. This week the Vikings continued their mid season surge by knocking off Duluth Denfeld 33-13. 

Minneapolis North

The Polars seemed to have forgotten how to give up points as they've posted nine straight quarters of scoreless football. This week they blanked Minneapolis Washburn 42-0 as Kai’an Darden accounted for four total touchdowns to help bring the Polars record to 4-1.

Robbinsdale Cooper

Robbinsdale Cooper have relied on its defense all season, and the Hawks did so again on Friday against a scrapy Apple Valley squad. The Hawks scored on their first possession then rode their defense the rest of the way, shutting out the Eagles 13-0. 

New Prague

Last week it was Rochester Century, this Week it was Rochester John Marshall. Either way, the result was the same as the Trojans took down the Rockets 28-20 to move to 4-1.

Alexandria

In a battle of two undefeated teams, it was the Cardinals who came out on top against Brained. The Warriors had no answer for the Alexandria offense as the Cardinals cruised to a 35-21 victory. 

Edina

The Hornets have undoubtedly one of the toughest schedules in the state of Minnesota, so don't let their 2-3 record fool you. This week Edina beat a solid Prior Lake squad as Hornet quarterback Mason West threw for over 250 yards to help get them the win, 33-26.

Minnetonka

Simply put, the Skippers find ways to win football games. This week marked Minnetonka’s third 1 point victory of the season as they hung on to beat Shakopee 14-13 to stay undefeated.
