Rangers return to state with 36-16 win over Bombers
CLOQUET—A dicey start to Friday’s Section 7A Championship game had the Mountain Iron-Buhl football team staring down a 16-0 deficit to Barnum with just over three minutes taken off the clock. But once the Rangers found their footing, there was no stopping them offensively or defensively as they scored 36 unanswered points and pitched a shutout the rest of the way, giving Mountain Iron-Buhl a 36-16 victory and the Section 7A crown in the process. It’s MI-B’s eighth section title in nine years and their first after moving up to Class A in 2025. With all that history behind them, the Rangers had little reason to panic even when things looked dire. “We never thought we were gonna lose,” said junior running back Jeff Tanksley.
