The Cannon Falls Bombers Football team has become the darling in this year’s journey to state. Earlier in the week, the seventh-seeded Bombers pulled off a comeback win against second-seeded Tri-City United. But the Bombers were not content with just one playoff win and they illustrated their hunger for more in Saturday’s Section 1AAA semifinal game against Plainview-Elgin-Millville. Dominating from the start, Cannon Falls won 33-16 and will become the lowest-seeded team ever to play for a section title. The Bombers will play Rochester Lourdes at Kasson-Mantorville this Saturday at 7 pm. This will be the second year in a row that Cannon Falls will play in the section final.
