Stillwater, Eden Prairie, Maple Grove and Rosemount are the four No. 1 seeds in this year’s Class 6A football bracket, which was revealed Friday.
There are no byes in this year’s seeded, 32-team tournament. Teams are seeded within their eight-team, geographic-based sections, only to have the seeded teams scrambled across four quadrants. So a No. 1 seed from one “section” squares off with a No. 8 seed from another.
The bracket is as follows, with all quarterfinal games taking place on Friday, Oct. 28:
Quadrant 1
No. 8 Brainerd at No. 1 Stillwater
No. 5 Lakeville North at No. 4 Minnetonka
No. 6 Anoka at No. 3 White Bear Lake
No. 7 Burnsville at No. 2 Lakeville South
Quadrant 2
No. 8 Hopkins at No. 1 Maple Grove
No. 5 Forest Lake at No. 4 Eagan
