Moorhead Edges Lakeville South to Secure Spot in Prep Bowl
In a tightly contested Class 6A semifinal, Moorhead's Spuds outlasted Lakeville South Cougars 26-14 at U.S. Bank Stadium, advancing to the Prep Bowl.
The game was all about momentum, with both teams showcasing explosive plays that could make or break the contest. For Moorhead, junior signal caller Jett Feeney proved pivotal in a four-play stretch in the third quarter, leading his team to a 20-14 lead.
Feeney's 40-yard completion to Zak Walker set up a key scoring drive, and he then found Walker again with a perfectly placed 25-yard pass at the edge of the end zone. The Spuds' offense was firing on all cylinders, with Feeney throwing for 228 yards and two touchdowns.
The Moorhead defense also stepped up, making big stops late to secure the win. Coach Kevin Feeney credited his team's grit, saying "That just shows our grit... That's out slogan for the year, Grit, and I thought our team really showed it tonight."
Lakeville South, however, struggled with consistency, particularly in its inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. The Cougars' offense was held to just 24 yards over two series late in the third and fourth quarters.
Moorhead's Power-T offense proved potent once again, averaging over 300 yards per game this season. Jett Feeney's 20-for-29 passing performance was a highlight of the game, and his team's confidence is now at an all-time high.
The Spuds will face Edina in the Prep Bowl on November 21, marking a rematch of their October 15 shootout that Moorhead won 51-44. This year, Edina seeks its first state championship after being the 2023 runner-up.
With two high-powered offenses facing off, the Prep Bowl matchup promises to be an exciting and closely contested game. Can Edina finally bring home its first title, or will Moorhead's grit and determination propel them to victory?

. They're not just about flashy plays and big numbers; they've also got heart, grit, and that all-important team chemistry. Jett Feeney's leadership is a major factor in their success - the kid's got game! 
. Both teams have high-powered offenses, so it's gonna be a battle for the ages! Can Edina break through and bring home that state title, or will Moorhead's determination prove too much? One thing's for sure - I'll be on the edge of my seat, cheering on these talented young athletes 
, but I'm sure Coach Feeney's team will find a way to choke under pressure. lakeville south's offense was held to 24 yards in two quarters lol like they didn't have enough practice running plays that failed... this game is gonna be so one-sided tho 
... and yeah, Jett Feeney is living proof that hard work pays off 
. The Prep Bowl matchup can't come soon enough!
and jett feeney is literally the real MVP 
he's got skills for days. and edina is gonna bring the heat too, their offense is all about speed and agility 
this game is gonna be SO close... i'm team moorhead all the way 
jett feeney is a total stud as a QB 
i think moorhead has the edge this time around, but edina is gonna bring it
