 State semifinals kicked off today at US Bank Stadium and joining Nevis Peers and Pequot Lakes is brainered in Class 5A. They'll take the turf Saturday night facing off with high powered Oatonna. The Warriors coming off a thrilling comeback win over St. Louis Park where Charlie Gears carried the ball a state record 55 times and defensively Max Boren picked off two passes. Now they look to use that momentum and prepare for a tough 10-1 Huskies team. Oatonna is really good. They're big ranging kids. I don't know, they just average about 6-1, 6-2 down there. Good athletes, well coached, good size. I mean they're just a good foot. They're averaging over 40 points a game. Very good football team. We're rolling now so we're just trying to stay focused for this game ahead. We're playing loud music to get used to the loud noise that's going to be in US Bank and we're just trying to focus up. The late one Saturday night brainered Oatonna, went into the prep pool.
