MN high school football state tournament
Isaiah Wright limped off the field midway through the second quarter. It didn’t prevent him from running wild.
A senior running back, he rushed for 361 yards on 24 carries with seven touchdowns — the second most in a state tournament game — leading third-ranked Fertile-Beltrami to a 60-33 victory over fifth-ranked LeRoy-Ostrander/Lyle-Pacelli in the second Nine-Player semifinal Thursday.
Wright scored three touchdowns in the first half, when the Falcons (12-0) fell behind the Cardinals (12-1) 27-22. He scored on runs of 13, 46 and 59 yards.
