Ahead of the Week 8 games, Centennial and Lakeville South moved into the upper echelon in Class 6A.

Lakeville South, Centennial and Rosemount rose to fill gaps that emerged when Minnetonka and Forest Lake lost for the first time Friday.

Fergus Falls had an opportunity to recover from last week’s loss to Rocori and hand Marshall its first defeat of the year on Friday. Watch the replay on Strib Varsity.

Class 6A’s Maple Grove stands alone as a unanimous top pick in the seven football classes.

Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Forest Lake and Lakeville South hold the top four spots. Chaska and Fergus Falls exited after losing last week. And Bemidji’s tough luck continued.

James Engle lifted Maple Grove over St. Michael-Albertville, Lakeville South caught a break vs. Edina, and Woodbury and Marshall rallied.

Chanhassen quarterback Nathan Ramler and several football coaches from across Minnesota joined Randy Shaver on “Strib Varsity Live” on Friday.

No. 7 Shakopee scored twice in the final minute but couldn’t catch up to Prior Lake. Ranked teams Moorhead, Chaska and Fergus Falls also lost.

The seven top-10s got shaken up, but there’s nothing shaky about the No. 1 teams.

The list begins with a handful of undefeated squads still left out — Kasson-Mantorville, Minneapolis North, North Branch, Waseca and Albert Lea — but angling for more attention.
