MINNEAPOLIS — After falling behind early in Friday’s Prep Bowl at US Bank Stadium, the Minneota football team proved why its once again the class of Class A. The Vikings scored 49 unanswered points after facing a 7-0 deficit, rallying for a 49-14 win over Breckenridge for their record 11th state championship. The win also marks the Vikings fourth consecutive state title, making them the first 11-player program to reach the milestone.

Minneota turned the ball over on two of its first three offensive plays, with the latter of those two turnovers resulting in Breckenridge’s go-ahead touchdown.

While the Cowboys finished the first quarter with the lead, it didn’t last long. Joey Lacek hauled in a big reception along the sideline to set up a Tristen Sussner game-tying sneak from the 1-yard line. After getting a stop on defense, the Vikings ran a double-reverse flea flicker on their next drive and Sussner found Landon Esping open downfield for a 44-yard touchdown to give the Vikings the lead.

Sussner continued to find his stride with a 10-yard rushing touchdown before halftime to give the Vikings a 21-0 advantage, and added another after to make the score 28-0. Easton Johnston also came up with a 67-yard pick-6 while Kellen Bradley ran in a pair of third-quarter touchdowns to make the score 49-7, triggering running clock for the fourth quarter.

Bradley and Lacek led Minneota’s rushing attack on the day. Bradley finished with 16 carries for 89 yards while Lacek contributed two carries for 81 yards. As a team, Minneota finished with 268 yards on 7.4 yards per attempt.

In the passing game, Esping and Brock Fier finished with 53 and 48 receiving yards, respectively. Sussner completed five of his eight attempts for 112 yards, a pick and a touchdown, as well as 30 rushing yards.

Johnston had a pair of interceptions for a total of 88 return yards for Minneota, Lacek also had a 30-yard interception return and Randy Sorsenson gave the Vikings a total of four picks as a team.

Up front, Kyson Arndt had a sack and a pair of tackles for loss while Fier led the team with five solo tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. Sorenson’s 10 total tackles were a game-high.

The win marks the Vikings third consecutive undefeated season and fourth consecutive title. They graduate a core of seniors that includes Johnston, DeVlaeminck, Bradley, Fier, Lacek, Arndt, Thomas DeSmet, Caleb Bottelberghe, Easton Sheik, Dalton Orvis and Hunter Carstensen.
