No. 2 state-ranked Moorhead and its juggernaut offense averaging more than 50 points per game makes the 100 or so mile trip down Interstate 94 to play at No. 1 Alexandria and its wealth of athletic talent.

In other games Friday, Edina and Maple Grove rolled, and Hopkins won again a week after ending a long losing streak.

The Star Tribune’s David La Vaque and Jim Paulsen have both missed only twice in a dozen tries at predicting high school football winners this season.
