A bouncing football can quickly change directions. Much like a football game.

Minnetonka experienced both over the high school football weekend.

The Skippers recovered a fortuitous pooch kick and fumble in the fourth quarter Thursday, leading to their final two touchdowns in a come-from-behind, 35-28 victory over Class 6A No. 1 Edina (2-1). The No. 5 Skippers (3-0) trailed 28-7 midway through the third quarter.
