By Andy Rennecke • arennecke@stcloudtimes.com • June 28, 2009

 

The rain started to fall right before kickoff. The precipitation eventually let up after about 20 minutes, but the storm cloud never seemed to stop following the Outstate team in the 36th annual Minnesota High School All-Star Football Game Saturday at Husky Stadium.

The Metro team took a 13-0 lead and didn't look back in a 54-13 win over the Outstate.

The all-time series between the two sides is now tied at 15.

The fourth quarter was played in running time in coinciding with Minnesota State High School League rules with the Metro leading by 35 points or more.

It was the most points ever scored by a team in the All-Star game. The Metro team had previously scored 47 points twice before in 1987 and 1983.
