The Cannon Falls Bombers dominated the Minneapolis Edison Tommies Tuesday night 67-8 in quarterfinal round Section 4AAA football.  The Faribault Bethlehem Academy Cardinals also rolled over the Coyotes of Heron-Lake Okabena/Fulda 34-0.  The Teddies and Bombers had identical 2-6 records going into the game but because Edison played metro schools they received the higher seed.  Heron-Lake Okabena/Fulda was 3-5 and Bethlehem Academy 2-6 going into their contest but the Coyotes played a nine man football schedule.

If there was ever a section where the seeding appeared to be off it was this one.  In addition to the #5 seed Cannon Falls team rolling by a school from the state's largest city, the one win Lake City Tigers had their way with the Minneapolis Roosevelt Teddies 49-20.

Cannon Falls amassed 451 yards rushing and limited the action of their leading rusher, senior Logan Hofstedt.  Hofstedt had 58 yards on 6 carries and scored 3 touchdowns.  Runs of 5 yards and 20 yards and a 20 yard pass reception.

Jack Dommeyer was 2 for 2 passing for 80 yards and 2 toucdowns.  Dommeyer's first touchdown pass was a 60 yard toss to Graham Pearson.  Brodie Hansen led the Cannon Falls rushing attack with 158 yards on 10 carries.

The Bombers dominated on defense also allowing 28 yards on the ground and 180 total yards.  They had a 41-0 lead at the half.  Leading tackers for Cannon Falls included Mason Duden, Dillen Anderson and Marcus Banks with 6 tackles each.

Anderson took the opening kickoff 60 yards for the first score of the game and the Bombers never looked back.  just under 3 minutes later Brodie Hansen scored the first of his two touchdowns on a 50 yard dart into the end zone.  Hofstedt capped off the first quarter scoring with a 5 yard run.

The Bombers travel to #1 seed Breck Saturday while Lake City heads to #2 seed St. Croix Academy.

In the featured KDHL playoff game the Lewiston-Altura Cardinals totally controlled action in the first half to take a 27-0 lead and defeated the Kenyon-Wanamingo Knights 34-14.  Senior Nate Bauer capped his K-W football career with two touchdowns in the second half.  A 3 yard run and a 35 yard run.

The Knights seniors were our Held Bus Service Knights of the game.

There was a huge #MicahStrong sign along the front of the home stands for all the Kenyon-Wanamingo fans to see.  Sales of the bracelets with the same hash tag were very brisk to start the week in Kenyon, Wanamingo and Houston.
