FOOTBALL ACROSS MINNESOTA | Week 10
Impressive stuff, but the LeRoy-Ostrander senior quarterback hasn’t returned any of his five takeaways on defense, including four interceptions, for a touchdown yet.
“I know, right?” Hungerholt said with a laugh.
No problem, he still has time. The do-everything Hungerholt has led his team to the Nine-Player semifinals, and the Cardinals take the field again Thursday against Fertile-Beltrami at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Getting to play in the Vikings stadium is a goal of every high school player in Minnesota, a cool reward for 28 teams from seven classes still alive. They are one win from the Prep Bowl. This big step is also a treat for fans in the Twin Cities who hear about teams or star players from greater Minnesota all season and now get to see them perform on the biggest stage.
Hungerholt’s season deserves recognition among the best by an individual in state history: 2,694 yards rushing, 35 rushing touchdowns, 2,183 yards passing, 31 passing touchdowns, 84 tackles on defense, 10 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and five takeaways.
