Football teams across the East Metro will play Friday for a chance to reach the state tournament. Here are our thoughts and predictions on each game.
Class 6A, Round 2
Woodbury is aiming for its first state tournament trip since 2021. It’ll have to win a rematch against a Spuds team that’s whole again with the return of star quarterback Jett Feeney. He was injured in the Week 2 matchup between the two teams, which Moorhead hung on to win 34-27, and didn’t return to action until the final week of the regular season.
The Royals must find a way to at least slow Moorhead’s passing attack, while scoring a healthy amount themselves.
Our pick: Moorhead 35, Woodbury 28
