Some plays were meant to be broken. In this case, Alexandria's Matthew Carlsen on Friday night made ESPN's SportsCenter with a broken-play-turned-touchdown early in the fourth quarter against Sartell.Â
Alexandria Echo Press editor Eric Morken caught the wild third-down play on camera and the folks in Bristol took note.
Just like they drew it up. #SCtop10 ��

That play cut Sartell's lead to 16-14. Alexandria's Zach Wosepka capped a memorable night for the Cardinals when his 32-yard field goal with under 2 minutes to play put Alexandria ahead 17-16.
It's only Week 2 of the prep season. What more will we see before November?

Final score 108-94. Yes, it was a high school football game
Iowa didn't get a head start on the prep basketball season and start games this fall. That's a final score from a state football semifinal game played Thursday morning.

Watertown-Mayer ends three-year football losing streak in convincing way
Not only did the team break the streak, it happened against an opponent that had a winning record this season and beaten the Royals soundly over the last two seasons.
Gophers

Take your mind off Gophers' horrid ending with this miraculous (almost) score
The jaw-dropping play included eight laterals and 55 yards. It was so good we think you can overlook the fact that it didn't count. (Lateral No. 4 is the best.)

Gophers bowl projections? They're already being made
We're going to bet that you haven't been thinking yet about a Gophers bowl game destination and opponent. But other people have.
