Every Tuesday at 6:50 p.m. during the school year, we recognize a high school athlete or team with our TRIA Prep Salute.

This week’s honoree is the Minnetonka High School football team who’ve had a little extra help this season with former Vikings Pro Bowl defensive end Everson Griffen joining the program as an assistant coach.

Griffen joined the team as an assistant coach and has gone from chasing quarterbacks to helping kids chase their dreams.
