MINNEAPOLIS — The Associated Press has released its final Minnesota high school football poll for 2020 in each of the six classes and 9-man.
According to KARE 11's Randy Shaver, following the unusual pandemic-shortened season and cancellation of the traditional Thanksgiving weekend Prep Bowl, the top ranked teams in each class can be considered "mythical" state champions for the 2020 season.
The rankings are determined in a vote by a statewide panel of prep sports journalists, including Randy Shaver.
