With the unfortunate loss by the ROCORI Spartans last night to South St. Paul, the brackets are set for the Class 3A and 4A Prep Bowl state championship games next weekend at TCF Bank Stadium. Good luck to Becker & Pierz!

The score at halftime was ROCORI 7 and South St. Paul 13. Rocori got the ball to start the second half and were looking to even the score and maybe take the lead. They were marching down field but ultimately they were not able to score so they ended up punting the ball.
