CLASS 2A
CALEDONIA (12-0) vs. PIPESTONE AREA (12-1), FRIDAY, 1 P.M.
Two-time defending champion Caledonia might be the most dominant team in its class. QB Owen King gets most of the publicity — 2,592 yards and 40 touchdowns passing this season and an undefeated record as a three-year starter will do that. But the Warriors also have a stellar receiving corps led by senior Andrew Goergen, a pick-your-poison backfield duo of Nick McCabe and Mason Staggemeyer, and a defense that's allowed only seven points before the fourth quarter through four postseason games. Pipestone, which lost to Caledonia 40-0 in the 2015 Prep Bowl, has a pretty fair QB in Cody Thompson, who's passed for more than 2,000 yards and 25 TDs. The Arrows will need a shut-down effort from their defense to keep pace with the Warriors.
The pick
Jim: Caledonia 44, Pipestone 16
David: Caledonia 49, Pipestone 10
