History Made As Annandale Captures State Football Title

An area high school has earned its first football championship in school history. The Annandale Cardinals defeated Waseca 17-7 on Saturday to bring home the Class 3A State Championship. The Cardinals were led by their defense, which forced four turnovers in the game, including three interceptions by Colton Purcell.  Purcell also threw a 62-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Westman in the third quarter. The Cardinals' other touchdown was a 25-yard reception by Westman from Michael Kovall.  Orono and Edina also won their first-ever prep football championships on Friday.
