Twenty-eight high school football teams across seven classifications in Minnesota will play at U.S. Bank Stadium Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the state semifinals for a chance to advance to next week’s Prep Bowl — the culmination of the season when 14 teams square off for the state championship, from Class 6A to Nine-Player.

Pflugerville won big in the opening round of the Class 5A Division II playoffs 63-13 over San Antonio Burbank to lead a handful of successful Central Texas football teams on the first night of the postseason Thursday.
