Maple Grove Football Blanks Stillwater on Opening Night

The Maple Grove football team started its 2026 season with a great defensive effort, shutting out Stillwater 15-0.

The Crimson got on the board late in the first quarter on a 55-yard Adam Patefield interception return for a touchdown and limited the Ponies to 228 yards of total offense.

Maple Grove scored nine points in the second half off a 32-yard Matthew Richardson field goal and a 55-yard touchdown pass from Graham Greseth to Briggs Tarnowski.

Maple Grove plays at Eden Prairie in Week 2 next Thursday night.
