The big upset of the week came in 3A football where Class 2A Chatfield beat the No. 1 ranked Cannon Falls Bombers 44-34. This will no doubt drop Cannon Falls down a few notches, especially with five undefeated teams sitting comfortably behind them and all coming off wins in Week 5.
In 9-Man, No. 1 Hancock held off No. 5 Mountain Iron-Buhl 34-32. In Class A, Lakeview, who has hovered around No. 10 in the rankings, defeated No. 6 Dawson-Boyd 28-22.
In Class 2A No. 9 Redwood Valley, formerly ranked second, fell to Jackson County Central 21-18. No. 10 Royalton, who came into the week undefeated, dropped a close one to Paynesville 22-16.
In 3A, No. 2 Litchfield, No. 3 Dassel-Cokato, No. 4 Dilworth-Glyndon-Fenton, No. 5 Fairmont and No. 6 Providence Academy are all unbeaten and will be looking to climb in the rankings after Cannon Falls’ loss to Chatfield.
In Class 4A the top nine teams all won their games while No. 10 SMB, coming off a 44-6 drubbing from Minneapolis North, lost to Park Center 35-14.
In 5A, Mankato West stayed on top, No. 10 Spring lake Park beat No. 6 Mahtomedi, and Rogers upset No. 7 Elk River.
Centennial continues to make noise in 6A. After losing their first two games of the season, they have defeated Maple Grove, who was ranked second, and last week beat No. 3 Wayzata to improve to 3-2. They should make a big leap into the 6A rankings as we head into Week 6.
