Roseville's 4-4 finish tops Minnesota 6A regular season

Roseville finished the Class 6A regular season with a 4-4 record, a mark that stands as the team's best since 2017. The Raiders defeated Coon Rapids 24-14 on Friday night to claim the Metro Maroon subdistrict title. Senior quarterback Chase Browning led the offense with 162 passing yards and three touchdowns in the victory. Browning described the result as an amazing feeling, noting that the team had worked hard to reach this point.

In other key matchups, Centennial defeated Anoka 38-6. The result likely secures a No. 3 seed for the Cougars in the upcoming playoffs. Anoka allowed only six points, marking the first time this season the team was held to single digits.

Mounds View edged White Bear Lake 22-16 to take sole possession of the Metro East subdistrict title. The Mustangs took the lead when quarterback Tanner Jude scored on a one-yard run with 65 seconds remaining. A successful two-point conversion extended the lead to six points. Preston Johnson then intercepted a pass on White Bear Lake's next possession to seal the game. The defense limited White Bear Lake quarterback Wyatt Stachowiak to six completions on 24 attempts.

East Ridge defeated Woodbury 42-31. Logan Tretter ran for two touchdowns, and Elias Mather returned an interception for a late score. The victory closed out a season that did not go as planned for the team.

Mack Jurkovich of Forest Lake posted the night's top individual performance. He rushed for 245 yards and two touchdowns as the Rangers beat Stillwater 31-13. The win locks in a No. 2 seed for the Class 6A playoffs. Jurkovich, who has committed to St. Thomas, finished the regular season with 1,600 rushing yards.

Park defeated Eastview 18-10 with help from junior receiver Manny Vargas. He scored twice, catching a touchdown pass and returning a punt 75 yards for a score. In the south metro, Lakeville South upset Rosemount 17-14. Sophomore kicker Dylan Nelson kicked a 36-yard field goal with one second left to win the game and complicate the seeding picture.
