Minnetonka vs. Wayzata. Oct. 20, 2009.
Scoreless game. Huge rivalry. Wayzata, State Champs last year undefeated coming into the night had beat Minnetonka earlier in the season. Minnetonka wins the game 3-0 in overtime. Wayzata has a tradition of prayer after the game lead by their coaches and some students. We working with the coaching staff at Minnetonka and worked it out to invite the players to join with the Wayzata players after the game.

It was an unbelievable moment on a cold and misty night under the lights after a very tough well-played game. Probably 30-­40 players from each team took a knee and gave God the glory and thanked Him for the night and the game. One Wayzata player prayed “Lord, our brothers from across the lake beat us tonight, and as much as we hate to lose, we are happy to have been in this game with them.”

I was humbled to have the chance to pray with the teams and to truly see young men bow and give God the glory. Way to go Wayzata and Minnetonka?Football…two classy, well coached teams!

Praise God. Praise God. Praise God.
