Friday's football roundup: Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa defeats Mayer Lutheran and stays perfect

Luke Dingmann is a game-changer.

The senior quarterback threw for one touchdown and ran for another in the second quarter, keeping Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa's perfect season intact with a 28-6 victory over Mayer Lutheran on Friday in the Class 1A football state tournament quarterfinals at St. Cloud Apollo High School.

Dingmann broke loose for a 91-yard touchdown run in the second quarter and hit junior wide receiver Luke Illies with a 24-yard touchdown pass three minutes later as the No. 5-ranked Jaguars (11-0) broke open a close game. Dingmann was injured a short time later making a tackle and didn't return to the game.

Junior running back Jack Lundberg opened the scoring with a 27-yard run late in the first quarter.

Mayer Lutheran made it 22-6 early in the fourth quarter on senior quarterback Levi Hahn's 17-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Isaiah Ingram.

The Jaguars regained control when Lundberg returned the ensuing kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown.
