The winners of these state quarterfinal match-ups will move on to the 2008 Minnesota State High School football tournament semifinals, which takes place on November 14 and 15.
Along with this week’s state quarterfinal games, the Minnesota Sports Broadcast Network will have extensive coverage of the state high school football tournament semifinals and Prep Bowl, including all 12 state semi-final games on November 14 and 15, and all six Prep Bowl match-ups on November 28 and 29.

Included in these games will be:
November 8 – Class 5A State Quarterfinal: St. Cloud Tech (9-1) vs. Wayzata (10-0): The St. Cloud Tech Tigers of the Central Lakes Conference will try to tame the undefeated Wayzata Trojans of the Classic Lake Conference Saturday night at 6:00 p.m. in St. Cloud, as two teams battle in a Class 5A state quarterfinal game from St. Cloud State University.
