No. 1 Caledonia romps past Cannon Falls in Class 2A state quarterfinals

ROCHESTER — Expectations are always sky high for the Caledonia football team and the Warriors are living up to those lofty standards this season. The Warriors made perhaps their biggest statement this season as they overwhelmed Cannon Falls 63-12 on Thursday in a Class 2A state quarterfinal game at Rochester Mayo High School. The Warriors, the top-ranked overall team in the state in Class 2A, will now face Hawley in the state semifinals at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 20 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. “It’s always a goal, growing up watching all these guys playing in the Bank and you always want to get to that point,” Caledonia running back/linebacker Bodie Knutson said. The Warriors now remain on task in a quest for their 12th football state championship. They have earned state berths in 16 of the past 21 seasons. The current batch of Caledonia players grew up watching the Warriors have a tremendous amount of success and they have the same desire and goals.
