Maybe now, the Maple Grove skeptics will have complete faith in their football team.

The Crimson ran through the regular season without a blemish, often salting a game away before the fourth quarter, winning in a manner that left no doubt.

But even though they were the only undefeated team in Class 6A heading into Friday night’s state tournament games, there were whispers of doubt.

Their opponent was big, bad Eden Prairie, winner of 11 state championships. If any team could ruin the Crimson’s magical season, the Eagles could be it.

After crushing Eden Prairie 34-0, it would be difficult to locate a nonbeliever anywhere among the 70,000 or so inhabitants of the northwest suburb of Maple Grove.
