I'm pretty sure Jared Essler, former standout for Minot Ryan and NDSU alum just won the MN 5A Championship tonight as the head coach of St. Michaels - their first in school history. Heck of an accomplishment!
It also got me thinking about him as a player. He was one of the fastest players I've ever seen in person in ND HS football to this day. I believe MR won state his senior year in AA.
