Down by three with 3:32 to play, Chanhassen had an opportunity for a championship drive. Across the line of scrimmage, the Spring Lake Park defense wanted to clinch the school’s first state title in a generation.

Advantage Panthers.

Spring Lake Park made two late defensive stops to beat Chanhassen 24-21 in the Class 5A Prep Bowl on Saturday at U.S. Bank Stadium. It was a true team effort that earned the school its second state football championship but first since 1991.

Pressure from Panthers’ defensive end Jamal Smith forced a third-down incompletion on the second-to-last drive for the Storm. On 4th-and-7 with 1:49 left, the senior Smith nearly got to the quarterback again, but his pressure was enough to force an incompletion.

Up 24-21, any Spring Lake Park celebrations turned out to be premature.

The Panthers subsequently went three-and-out, giving Chanhassen one last opportunity with 1:20 left. The Storm started from their 1-yard line where Calen Truckenbrod’s lofty punt was downed. Nine plays later, the Storm were at the Spring Lake Park 33 with 25 seconds remaining.

A fourth-down pass was intercepted by Cade Skelly and the 13-0 Panthers could celebrate — officially.

Spring Lake quarterback Nolan Roach ran for 162 yards and two scores, and tossed a touchdown. Lemari Brown finished with 58 powerful, between-the-tackles rushing yards and the defense forced four turnovers against a Storm squad averaging more than 32 points per game. Skelly had 15 tackles, eight solo.

Nathan Ramler was 27 of 47 for 240 yards for Chanhassen (11-2). Peyton Ramsey ran for 104 yards.

Down 24-14 late in the third quarter, Chanhassen put together a nine-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Ramsey scoring from the 10 on fourth down 1:24 into the fourth quarter.

Spring Lake Park led by seven at the break, and Sam Wolde’s 25-yard field goal capped a 15-play, 81-yard third-quarter drive to make it 24-14. The trek took 7:37.

A seesaw opening 24 minutes ended with Spring Lake Park holding a 21-14 lead thanks to a late 38-yard touchdown reception by Kaden Konkler and the Panther defense coming up big in the closing minute.

From the Panthers’ 5 with 1:07 left, the Storm lost a yard over the next two plays. Out of a timeout on third down and with 35 seconds left, Ramler dropped back but was pressured by Braden Hemquist. The lineman forced a fumble that was recovered by Isaac Olson.

A 38-yard Roach run gave the Panthers an early 7-0 lead, but Ramler’s 1-yard run evened the game less than three minutes later.

Three plays after Chase Warner recovered a fumble early in the second quarter, Roach scored from 53 yards away for a 14-7 Panthers lead. But, again, Chanhassen responded. This time it was a 16-yard fourth-down touchdown reception by Bush that capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive to tie the game.

Class 3A

Wide receiver/safety Colton Purcell threw a touchdown pass and tied a Prep Bowl record with three interceptions, and Annandale beat Waseca 17-7 in Class 3A for the school’s first football title.

Via a double-pass play, Purcell took a backwards throw from Michael Kovall and found Gabriel Westman behind the defense late in the third quarter. Westman’s 25-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter gave the Cardinals a 10-0 lead.

Kellen Klinger had a rushing touchdown for the Bluejays (12-1).

9-Player

Jamin Metzger threw for 238 yards and two touchdowns, and Hills-Beaver Creek routed Hillcrest Lutheran 46-22 for the 9-Player crown.

Brodie Metzger ran for 126 yards and had 99 receiving yards for the 13-0 Patriots, who outgained the Comets 481-258.

Ethan Swedberg threw two touchdown passes for Hillcrest Lutheran (12-1).

Mercury Bischoff’s hat trick included a go-ahead power-play goal as Minnesota State Mankato finished a weekend sweep of No. 2 Minnesota with a 4-1 victory Saturday afternoon in Mankato.

Bischoff’s third goal was an empty netter with 1 minute, 48 seconds left that clinched the Mavericks’ first sweep against their WCHA rival since 2006.

Josefin Bouveng tied the game for the Gophers (12-4-0, 8-4-0) off an assist by Abbey Murphy in the first period, but Mavericks goalie Hailey Hansen made 27 saves as the Mavericks (8-7-1, 4-7-1) scored the next three goals, one from Whitney Tuttle to take a 3-1 lead into the third period.

The Mavericks won, 3-1, Friday night at Ridder Arena before completing the sweep at Mayo Clinic Event Center.

CHICAGO — The most memorable sound effect for Northwestern games at Ryan Field was a screeching Wildcat growl after big plays. Its repetition would get the sound stuck in your heads.

At Wrigley Field on Saturday, the public address announcer said “We are going to move! those! chains!” He said it ad nauseum as the Wildcats totaled 25 first downs in a 38-35 win.

The Gophers defense came into the game allowing 331 yards per game (38th in the nation), but allowed more yards of offense to a .500 Northwestern team (525 yards) than the U gave up to No. 1 Ohio State (474) and No. 7 Oregon (510). The Gophers also gave up 476 yards to Michigan State, which is winless in Big Ten play.

Given how glaring the breakdowns were Saturday, Fleck was asked about how new defensive coordinator Danny Collins has done in his first season at the helm.

“I look at three things,” Fleck said. “I look at the coaching. I look at personnel and then the scheme. Those are the three things that I evaluate every single week. I got to go back through the tape. …

“(But) I love what Danny is doing. I love how hard our defensive staff works. Part of it is you just got to make the plays that present themselves. Again, I think at times throughout the entire year, we’ve pressed here and there. We are pressing to go get the ball (and force a turnover). And the details matter.”

Collins called the Gophers’ defense Saturday from the sideline, a departure from doing so from the coaches’ booth high above the field. Fleck said that wasn’t a reaction to performances, but a decision based on not having great vantage points from a baseball press box.

Charging for long distance

Gophers kicker Brady Denaburg continues to struggle on field goals from 40 yards and longer this season.

Denaburg is 11 for 12 from inside 39 yards, but the transfer from Syracuse is 2 for 7 from beyond 40 with misses from 40 in the third quarter Saturday and 48 on the last play of the game.

“Keep kicking,” Fleck said. “Sometimes it goes through, sometimes it doesn’t. We got to execute way better. He’s made some really big kicks for us all year. I know he’ll respond to that.”

Briefly

With the new $800 million Ryan Field opening up next year, Wrigley Field plans to host games for other college programs. … Anthony Smith was credited for a sack on a Preston Stone intentional grounding Saturday. That gives Smith 10 1/2 sacks this season, becoming the first Gopher with double-digit sacks since Willie VanDeSteeg in 2008. … The Gophers turned to Tony Nelson at guard on Saturday, a rare change along the U’s offensive line that managed to run for 3.5 yards per carry.
