• How the Minnesota Top 25 fared in the season opener (startribune.com) — Minnetonka's top-ranked Skippers opened their football season with a tight 14-7 win over East Ridge, breaking a late tie and defending a final-seconds pass. The statewide Top 25 rundown shows how other leading Minnesota programs, including Eden Prairie and Lakeville South, fared in their first games.
