Patch Prep Football West Metro Roundup: Osseo Wins Rivalry Week, Minnetonka Continues to Roll

The Minnetonka Skippers are serving notice that they're not to be counted out when it comes to the conversation about best teams in the West Metrol. 

The blue and white moved to 2-0, joining Wayzata and Eden Prairie, with a 49-14 trouncing of Coon Rapids. 

Ian Cote broke the game open with a couple of 1-yard plunges, and then the Skippers used big plays from their defense and the passing game to run away with a 42-0 halftime lead. 

Nick Rooney had three touchdowns for Minnetonka, two through the air. 

Osseo 26, Maple Grove 20

In the northwest corner, Osseo used a fourth quarter touchdown run from Troy Kray in the fourth quarter to come back from a 13-0 deficit in this Class 6A rivalry game. 

Bridge Tusler had 104 yards rusing, but the Crimson kept him out of the end zone and kept the game in their control for much of the first half, getting out to a 13-0 lead behind two big touchdowns from Brycen Wojta. 

Wojta had a pick-six for a score, and caught a touchdown pass in the loss. 

The  football team suffered its first loss of the season Friday, Sept. 7, in a close battle against Totino-Grace High School.

The Eagles were able to effectively eliminate the Hornets' running game—Edina finished the game with a combined 23 yards rushing—forcing quarterback Mark Handberg to throw the ball for much of the contest. Handberg completed 20 of 29 passes for 187 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions.

The Hornets are now 2-1 on the season, while Totino-Grace maintains its undefeated record at 2-0.

St. Michael-Albertville 43, Duluth East 7

The Knights held Duluth to under 200 yards total offense on the night.
