Maple Grove remains undefeated with an exclamation point, routing Edina in the Class 6A high school football playoffs

Consider the question answered. Perhaps not officially, but as close as it gets.

The question: Can anyone beat Maple Grove? After the Crimson pummeled Edina 42-12 in Thursday's Class 6A quarterfinal at Park Center, it appears the answer is no.

Edina seemed positioned to challenge the No. 1-ranked Crimson's dominance, but Maple Grove took control of the game early.

The Crimson scored 21 first-half points on an 18-yard run by Charles Langama, a 29-yard pass from Kaden Harney to Oliver Walseth and a 1-yard run by Harney and led 21-0 at halftime.

Maple Grove cemented its victory with a pair of Bo Draheim touchdowns early in the third quarter. He followed a 1-yard scoring run with a 30-yard reception for a TD and a 35-0 lead.

Edina made the score a little more respectable in the fourth quarter with touchdowns by Chase Bjorgaard and Meyer Swinney.
