For a brief moment after a 60-yard touchdown run by Eden Valley-Watkins' Matt Schindler in the third quarter, a scoreboard inside U.S. Bank stadium read: Maple River 7, Eden Valley-Watkins 397.
The typo was quickly corrected to 39-7, but at times it felt like the mistake could have been accurate.
The Eagles, with a quick-hitting attack that delivered four scoring plays over 50 yards, blew out Maple River 46-13 in the Class 2A semifinal.
"It was nice to be indoors in a good passing environment," Eden Valley-Watkins quarterback Reese Jansen said. "Last week it was 26 degrees, so we were happy to get here with nice weather."
The Eagles (11-1) outgained Maple River 512 yards to 191 and averaged nearly 12 yards per play.
Its big-play capability was on display early. On Eden Valley-Watkins' third play, Jensen completed a pass to Schindler for a 71-yard touchdown. On the team's next drive, Jensen to Schindler struck again on a 68-yard pass play.
Schindler's play-finishing speed helped him reel in 145 of Jensen's 377 passing yards. The senior quarterback tended to find his blazing receivers in stride, throwing for five touchdowns.
Maple River (10-3) scored after Jensen's first touchdown pass but didn't score again until the fourth quarter.
