It was the perfect ending for a perfect season

Ryan Meagher’s record-tying five touchdowns paved the way for the Minneota Vikings ground-and-pound offense in the Prep Bowl at U.S. Bank Stadium on Friday morning. The Vikings went on to defeat Springfield 43-22 to claim their second consecutive Class A State Championship. The game was a rematch of last season’s title bout, which the Vikings won 38-21. This year was the Vikings’ third consecutive appearance in the Prep Bowl. The Vikings finished the season with a 14-0 record.
