Some of them are moments for the ages: A big hit or a big touchdown in a game that we will remember vividly for decades. Those are attached to names like Jack Morris ... or Stefon Diggs ... or Maya Moore.

Others passed quickly, making an impact on the people who witnessed them and maybe some others in the telling. You know about Micah Koehn of Totino-Grace, don't you? The 2007 Prep Bowl? The winning play? It would have been a moment for the ages if it had happened someplace else. But for those saw it unfold, it was no less indelible.

The rules were fast and loose: It could be something that happened here, done by a Minnesota athlete somewhere else or had some kind of connection to the state.
