After Sam Thomas ran in a 10-yard touchdown for Eden Prairie on the first play of overtime, the Eagles kicked an extra point for a 17-10 lead.

Rosemount (7-3) then responded on its OT possession with Trevor Armborst throwing a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jake Ratzlaff. Armborst then completed a pass to Cadin Rudoll for the two-point conversion to complete the upset.
