Fourteen high school football teams battling for seven Minnesota state championships over two days in one big football stadium. Even for math masters like us (ahem), that’s a lot to track. Good thing we have Randy Shaver on speed dial now to help us make sense of all the Prep Bowl madness coming at us fast.

Get comfy for a few minutes and watch our 2025 Prep Bowl Preview Show. Shaver and Strib Varsity football beat writers Jim Paulsen and Marcus Fuller break down all seven title games, the keys to winning each, the players you need to watch and much more. Watch that video here:
