Football Wednesday: Woodbury at Forest Lake

Royals look to close out the regular season with a victory.

The playoffs for high school football are nearly upon us, and Woodbury hopes to get right against Forest Lake following a tough loss to Cretin. Woodbury (4-3 Suburban East Conference) lost to Cretin-Derham Hall 43-7; Forest Lake (2-5 SEC) lost to Mounds View 28-0. Quran Al-Hameed (Woodbury, running back) Al-Hameed scored Woodbury's lone touchdown last week, providing one of the few bright spots for the Royals. Tommy Tyson (Forest Lake, running back) Tyson led the Rangers with 61 yards on 15 carries a week ago. Woodbury is more or less locked into the second seed for the Section 4AAAAA playoffs. The Royals aren't going to catch Cretin-Derham Hall for the top spot, and even if they lose and Eagan—the team currently in the third slot—wins, it…
