Every team is unique and this is a group of kids that I’ve known the seniors since third grade. Sunday night is our banquet, and it will be the last time they’re ever together. And Monday, we’ll have 100-some kids in the weight room getting ready for Elk River Thursday before Labor Day.” So the beat goes on for the Eagles. And Grant should know. He’s directed the Eden Prairie Eagles to eight state titles in his 30 years as head coach.
