Two Harbors wins summer 7-on-7 title in Duluth debut
Two Harbors won the Perrault Passing Camp belt in its first Duluth 7-on-7 appearance, beating larger 4A and 5A schools on June 18.
Two Harbors High School football players brought home the Perrault Passing Camp 7-on-7 championship belt from Duluth on June 18, winning the tournament outright in their first appearance. The Agates beat teams from larger 4A and 5A schools and left with the belt that had belonged to Duluth East, the previous champion.
For a Lake County program, the result carried more weight than a summer trophy. The win showed Two Harbors could walk into a fast-paced offseason setting, match up with bigger programs and come out on top. It also gave the Agates an early marker heading toward fall, when the work done in June often shows up in timing, spacing and confidence once pads go on for real games.
Head coach Tom Nelson said the group handled the new format well, did a fantastic job and had a good time together. That balance matters in June, when football is competing with lake days, jobs and everything else that pulls teenagers in different directions. The tournament gave the Agates a chance to learn and improve while staying connected as a unit.
The Perrault Passing Camp event is built differently from a standard game. Publicly posted rules describe 7-on-7 as non-contact football played on a 40-yard field with a 20-minute running clock, one-hand touch and no blocking. Possessions start at the 40-yard line, first downs come at the 20, defenses can play man or zone and a four-second sack rule forces quick decisions and fast throws. Scoring also rewards defensive stops and turnovers, which turns the format into a test of both sides of the ball instead of just offense.
Perrault Passing Camps, founded by Coach Ed Perrault, is based in Duluth and centers on the mental and technical development of quarterbacks and wide receivers. Its 7-on-7 activity is hosted at Duluth Marshall High School, and the event draws teams from beyond the immediate area, with camp materials pointing to a regional hotel partner in Duluth. For Two Harbors, the first trip produced a championship and a new level of local bragging rights before the fall season arrives.
