Dufur 38, St. Paul 32: Tanner Masterson’s 17 yard interception return for a touchdown in the final seconds of the third quarter was the difference as the Rangers claimed their fourth straight state championship and tenth in 32 years under head coach Jack Henderson. Dufur’s defense came to the forefront in the second half after the two offenses dominated the first 24 minutes, combining for eight touchdowns as the Buckaroos took a 32-30 lead into the locker room. But the Ranger defense dominated the second half, limiting St. Paul to 28 yards of total offense in the second half. Dufur tied the game early in the third quarter when a bad snap led to a blocked punt that went out of the end zone for a safety, setting up Masterson’s pick-six later in the period. Asa Farrell had 256 yards of total offense for Dufur, while Derek Frakes threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns.
