Instead of resting on his laurels after 39 years of covering the Minnesota prep sports scene, KARE 11's Randy Shaver is breaking new ground in covering the state's high school football landscape. The Associated Press High School Football Poll has resumed after missing the first few weeks, but Randy wasn't waiting around... he decided he would do his own rankings, from class 6A to 9-man, every week of the season.
He started it... he'll finish it.
Each week Randy will take the wraps off his Top 10 in each class on the Prep Preview Show, which can be seen on the KARE 11 YouTube channel starting at 3 p.m. every Wednesday.
