Section 4AA final: Maple Lake 24, Norwood-Young America 21 (2nd straight state trip for the Irish football team; they take a 7-4 record into state)
Section 5A final: Dawson-Boyd 22, Minneota/Lincoln HI 6
Section 6A final: Mahnomen 28, Browerville 7
Section 6AAA final: #7-seed Annandale 21, #1-seed Zimmerman 7!!!

**HALFTIME score at the University of Minnesota-Morris: Paynesville Area 30, BOLD 22. **FINAL: Paynesville Area 36, BOLD 30. (Great job Bulldogs!)

Section 5AAA: Providence Academy 15, Rockford 14 (a real heartbreaker for the Rockets, who weren't talking "state" coming into the season but made a great run in the playoffs)

**Incredible: Lester Prairie/Holy Trinity 22, Kimball Area 14 OT - FINAL. The Cubs led 14-6 at halftime, with the Bulldogs scoring eight points in the second half to force overtime. Their game-tying touchdown was scored on a 10-yard field after they recovered a bad snap on a Kimball punt deep on the Cubs' side of the field.
