Hopkins Football Team Moving Up A Class

The move will take place starting in the 2012 season.

The Hopkins football team will be moving up a class beginning in 2012 thanks to an approved Minnesota State High School League vote on Thursday.

The MSHSL board of directors approved a move to add a seventh football class effective in the 2012 season, according to the MSHSL website.

The move means football will have six 11-man football divisions listed as Class 1A-6A and a 9-man class.
