There was a pilot program last year with four teams, a 12-game regular season and a championship game at TCO Stadium. This season had a major jump in participation with 51 high schools competing, thanks to a $600,000 contribution from the Vikings.<\/p>\n
Twelve schools qualified for the 2025 state championship tournament on Monday. Games began at 2 p.m. and ran through the evening until a state champion was crowned.<\/p>\n
Mahtomedi advanced to the championship game after routing Park of Cottage Grove 32-0 in the semifinals, while La Crescent-Hokah beat Centennial 24-6 in its semifinal game.<\/p>\n
The first half of the championship game had plenty of offense, as La Crescent-Hokah took a 20-18 lead into the second half. However, Mahtomedi took control of the game by holding La Crescent-Hokah scoreless and putting up three touchdowns in the second half.<\/p>\n
Sophia Peer scored four touchdowns for the Zephyrs and had two interceptions in the second half.<\/p>\n
Mahtomedi claimed the championship game 36-20, becoming the first state champions in a field of more than four teams.<\/p>\n
