If statements were being made this week, Barnesville may have made the loudest one. The Trojans rattled off 43 straight points to beat Detroit Lakes in a first time matchup on the football field. With the season starting to round towards the homestretch, does a win like that signal that the Trojans are beginning to peak at the right time? WDAY Sports' Zach Staton, Jahmal Kennedy, and Taylor Budge dive into that and playoff football beginning in North Dakota in this week's edition of From the Sidelines. 

A massive week in high school football saw Langdon Area-Edmore-Munich's 44 game win streak ended by Hillsboro-Central Valley. 1,422 days passed between Cardinal losses, and both came to the Burros.  WDAY's Sports Zach Staton, Jahmal Kennedy, and Taylor Budge chat about the ending of a vaunted streak, what teams are loading up for playoff runs, and chat about a ridiculous Class A girls golf state title, which saw the individual medalist decided by a five hole playoff. 

North Dakota high school football is just a couple weeks away from playoff time, while Minnesota is already at the halfway mark of the season. So who's trending towards a postseason run? What players have stood out? WDAY Sports' Zach Staton and Jahmal Kennedy get back together after a few weeks off (we'll explain) to chat about it all as postseason football starts to loom. 

High school football gets back underway this week! The action begins in North Dakota, where 9B and 11B teams begin their schedules in "Week Zero" of the season.  WDAY Sports' Zach Staton and Jahmal Kennedy hit each of the new regions in the two classes, and chat about the teams that could continue success from 2020 and who could be prepared to take a jump up. 

For a second straight year, high school sports in North Dakota and Minnesota will have to navigate seasons in a pandemic. Even with vaccine's available, how do coaches, players, and fans make it work without any pauses or delays? WDAY Sports' Zach Staton and Jahmal Kennedy chat about the memories of sports in 2020, and how those could help teams going into 2021.
