Neither Becker nor Totino-Grace was undefeated this time, but their Friday night matchup was still worth the watch.

The Bulldogs and Eagles, both 3-2 overall, met for a rematch of the 2024 Class 4A football state championship in a game livestreamed on Strib Varsity. Watch the replay here.

Becker won the last meeting 24-8, securing its fourth state title on its 18th visit to the state tournament. Totino-Grace was making its 28th state tournament appearance and has won 10 state championships, most recently the Class 6A title in 2016. The Eagles moved to Class 4A in 2023.

The Eagles opened the season with losses to Rocori, which is on the fringes of the Class 4A state rankings released Tuesday, and Stewartville, ranked seventh in 4A. They’ll face Hutchinson, a team Becker beat 42-6, next week before closing the regular season against Byron, still undefeated and ranked No. 1 in Class 4A and No. 10 in Strib Varsity’s Minnesota Top 25.

The Bulldogs’ two losses came at No. 5 Orono and No. 4 Fergus Falls. Fergus Falls is also No. 24 in the Minnesota Top 25. Becker will take on Rocori next week, and it will face Detroit Lakes to finish the regular season.
