Waseca at Marshall
7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 9
Two teams with prolific offenses square off as Waseca (1-0) travels to Marshall (1-0) in South Central District Red Division play.
The Bluejays routed Albert Lea 62-13 while the Tigers rolled Jordan 63-14 last week.
While each team also posted good offensive numbers heading into last year's meeting, Marshall prevailed by shutting out Waseca 35-0. Both programs went on to finish the year with 7-1 records and tied for first place in the league standings.
This season's matchup could be headed for a similar finish, as the Bluejays look to have issues to tackle on both sides of the ball.
They are facing a stingy Tigers defense and must stop running back Jefferson Lee V, who seems to have picked up where he left off in his junior season (1,423 yards; 27 touchdowns). The senior rushed for six first-half touchdowns in last week's win.
