St. Michael-Albertville at Moorhead
6 p.m., Friday, Sept. 2

St. Michael-Albertville and Moorhead put together terrific seasons last year, beginning with their matchup in the season opener.

These Class 5A schools are separated by 200 miles, and St. Michael-Albertville is making the lengthy trip north this season, looking to avenge its lone blemish from a year ago. 

The Spuds came away with a 26-16 win in the game, but the Knights finished on top, as they bounced back to reel off 12 consecutive wins and claim the state championship.
