MN high school football state tournament: 2024 Prep Bowl
Maple Grove head football coach Adam Spurrell expected his team would be very good this season. He’d been a Maple Grove assistant coach for a dozen years before getting the top job last spring.
Months ago, he knew what his team was capable of achieving, and the Crimson did what was expected on Friday, beating Minnetonka 28-21 in the Class 6A state championship game for Maple Grove’s second 6A title in three seasons.
“We knew we had a state championship-type team,” Spurrell said.
