NSO – NEWS RELEASE

 

Relishing in 36 consecutive victories and the three Class 9-Man championships that have come with it will be an enjoyable way for Grand Meadow High School to spend the offseason.

The Superlarks again were superb in finishing the season without a blemish en route to a 34-20 victory over Underwood in the championship game on Friday, Nov. 13 at TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus.

Senior Michael Stejskal rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown and threw for 218 yards and three others to power the top-ranked Superlarks (14-0) to the title for third time in eight trips to the state tournament. Junior Christophor Bain was a popular target of Stejskal, catching five passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns.

Grand Meadow defeated Underwood 28-6 in 2013 to start the three-peat.

To do so, however, the Superlarks had to rally.
Dylan Kalenze scored on a 6-yard run to give the Rockets (13-1) a 20-14 lead with 2:56 left in the third quarter. But the Superlarks struck back mightily with 20 unanswered points. Zach Myre started the spree with a 10-yard run with 50 seconds left in the third quarter.

Grand Meadow tacked on two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter, one on a 14-yard pass from Stejskal and the final exclamation point, a 71-yard sprint by Stejskal.
Coy Thorson paced Underwood with 148 yards on 20 carries and scored a touchdown.

Grand Meadow owns the longest active winning streak in Minnesota. Minneota is next at 26 and Becker is at 24. Both Minneota and Becker are also playing for Prep Bowl championships this weekend.
