Back in August, the Minnesota State High School League’s Executive Committee of the Board of Directors approved the move to December 2nd and 3rd.
The League’s annual Prep Bowl is traditionally played over Thanksgiving weekend.
The Minnesota Vikings played host to the New England Patriots in a nationally televised game on Thanksgiving evening. With that game finishing late on Thursday evening, it was decided to ensure that participants and their supportive communities would have a quality championship experience with the dates pushed back one week.
