The Eagles finished the season 28-0 and ranked No. 1 in Class 4A in Minnesota but never got their opportunity to win a state title after the tournament was canceled due to the coronavirus epidemic.
"It’s overwhelming," Flom said about the celebration. "Brought me to tears right away. So great to see former players and current coaches, current players and parents. It was awesome. What a great, great tribute."
