Homecoming: Tonka Faces Edina
The Skippers, who have yet to give up a point this season, face an explosive Edina offense Friday at Minnetonka's Homecoming game.
FOOTBALL FRIDAY
Minnetonka (3-0, 0-0 Lake Conference) vs. Edina (2-1, 0-0 Lake Conference)
PLAYMAKERS
-- Rashad Cohen (Minnetonka – Running Back)
The senior rusher has two games of 100 or more yards and is averaging an impressive 6.0 yards per carry.
-- Vinni Letteri (Minnetonka – Kicker)
Was a perfect four-for-four on extra points in last week’s win over Bloomington Jefferson. He comes from an athletic family. His father, Tino Letteri, is a former goalie for the Minnesota Kicks and his grandfather is Lou Nanne, former player, coach and general manager of the North Stars.
-- John Bryan (Edina- Running Back)
Was a workhorse against Lakeville South as he carried 37 times for 139 yards and two scores.
-- Marley Allison (Edina – Wide Receiver)
The junior has seven receptions for 132 yards and two touchdowns this season.
SKIPPERS WIN IF...
They can keep getting outstanding balance. Six different players scored in their win last Friday. They have outscored their opponents 95-0 this season.
HORNETS WIN IF...
They can stay healthy. Quarterback Mark Handberg missed time in the fourth quarter against Lakeville South and Nick Rallis was slowed by two separate shoulder injuries. This is their second of five games against top ten ranked teams in Class 5A.
