PREP FOOTBALL: METRO TOP 10
Staff writer Jim Paulsen's opinions on the top prep football teams in the metropolitan area, regardless of class:
1. Eden Prairie (2-0): The Eagles ran their winning streak to 19 in a row with two victories in four days.
2. Rosemount (1-0): The Irish sent a message with a 41-6 drubbing of Eastview.
3. Lakeville North (1-0): The defense was positively offensive in a 39-13 rout of Hopkins, putting up 25 points in its own.
4. East Ridge (1-0): QB Seth Green was unleashed, passing for 307 yards as the Raptors blanked Park of Cottage Grove 49-0.
5. Prior Lake (1-0): We knew the defense would be strong, but the Lakers' offense opened eyes in a 43-21 victory over tough Lakeville South.
6. Maple Grove (1-0): QB Brad Davison didn't play like a sophomore in beating Edina 27-8.
7. Cretin-Derham Hall (1-0): We'll know more about the Raiders after Friday's Suburban East matchup against East Ridge.
