Elks shut out by Monticello in Section 7-5A championship

The No. 2-seeded Elk River football team saw its season come to an end with a 23-0 loss to top-seeded Monticello in the Section 7-5A championship Friday, Nov. 6, in Monticello. In a game in which both teams controlled the ball for extended stretches and scoring opportunities were limited, two Elk River turnovers proved costly against a talented Monticello team. The shutout was Elk River’s first in more than 14 years, dating back to a September 2012 loss to Totino-Grace. Monticello opened the scoring on its first possession, marching 74 yards in 12 plays before Max Lofgren scored on a 13-yard run with 6:26 remaining in the first quarter. Carson Deibele ran in the two-point conversion to give the Magic an 8-0 lead. Elk River responded with a promising drive, moving 51 yards in 12 plays to the Monticello 21-yard line as the first quarter ended. However, a fumble on the first play of the second quarter ended the threat, giving the Magic possession at its own 13. Monticello capitalized, driving 87 yards in 10 plays and scoring on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Deibele to Johnny Moore with 7:12 remaining in the half. Deibele and Moore connected again on

Mistakes pile up as Knights football is eliminated

St. Michael-Albertville football's momentum stopped after a first-round upset to Woodbury, as Rosemount beat them in the round of 16 to end their season in the state tournament. The Knights crushed the Royals in the first round, winning on the road as the six-seed over the three-seed in Woodbury. On Nov. 6, the Knights lost to Rosemount 35-7, not repeating the upset from last season or last week and falling to the No. 2 team in their quadrant of the bracket. The first half was all Rosemount. The Irish scored three times in the first half to make it 21-0 over the Knights. In the second quarter, the Knights showed signs of life when down 14-0. After a punt, the Irish fumbled on the ensuing drive thanks to forced fumble by defensive back Kyan Beaumont. Beaumont and the Knights took over on their opponent's 24 and drove down inside the Irish 10. A costly fumble coughed up a golden opportunity for the Knights offense to cut the lead in half with the first half time ticking down. The Irish capitalized and scored once more before the break. The second half had as much scoring, but the Knights joined the fray
