Senior's picks help Burnsville top Lakeville South

Senior defensive back Jake Shepley intercepted three passes Friday, helping Class 6A, No. 9 Burnsville take a 14-7 overtime victory over visiting Lakeville South.

Shepley's final pick ended the game after Jackson Martens scored on the Blaze's opportunity to begin the overtime.

Senior running back Stephan Olson Jr. put the Blaze ahead first on a 74-yard touchdown run.

The Cougars tied the score in the second quarter when junior quarterback Brady Torborg tossed a 5-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Evan Fiedler. The Cougars defense forced the Blaze to punt on its other first-half possessions.

The Blaze had a chance in the fourth quarter to take the lead on a five-minute drive to the Cougars 11-yard line, but mistakes blew up the possession.

Hutchinson 28, Glencoe-Silver Lake 14: Christian Kurth scored three rushing touchdowns while Isaiah Nelson racked up 215 yards on 21 carries, leading the Class 4A, No. 2 Tigers past the host Class 3A, No. 11 Panthers.

St. Thomas Academy 13, North St. Paul 12: Thomas Dolan scored the go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter to lift the Class 5A, No. 20 Cadets past the visiting Polars. The Polars had a chance to win in the final seconds but missed a 40-yard field goal. Thomas Steveken got the scoring started with a 70-yard interception return in the first quarter. Fisayo Oduyemi scored a pair of short second-quarter touchdowns to give the Polars the lead at halftime.

East Ridge 24, Mounds View 14: The Class 6A, No. 12 Raptors stuck to the game plan and rolled past the host Mustangs.
