MINNEAPOLIS — At Minneapolis Patrick Henry, there's a shed that's helping bring the magic for the football program

Originally full of junk, but the team cleared it to make a meeting space. They meet there before every game, during half time. And they use it during the summer.

"It's not fancy by any means but it's our place," said Head Coach Mark Heiser. 

With a 7-1 record, Patrick Henry players have confidence and swagger; they're proud of the work they've put in through the offseason.

They want to change the narrative of their program and the north side, and rebrand the area with the help of football. 

Traditionally, Minneapolis North has been the staple of football in the area, but in 2023, they have some competition.

And it all begins in the shed, where the students work to build a program that brings the community together.
