Football season is upon us. It seemed very appropriate to note the great
history of Football in Sherburne County. Sherburne county athletes played organized
games of football for 130 years.
According to “A Century of Pride The History of Elk River Football,” the
first game reported in the local news witnessed Elk River defeating a team from
Monticello by a score of 29 to zero.
Since then, Sherburne County presented a number of notable games. Here are two seasons of Elk River High School
football players, 1914 and 1927. Note,
1927 saw a championship season, with the Elk River team recording a record of
5-1-1. Later, Big Lake and Becker
presented outstanding teams. The Big
Lake team from 1967 presented below.
