Waseca at Belle Plaine
7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 23

Marshall may be the overwhelming favorite to win the South Central District Red Division this season, but Belle Plaine has thrown its hat into the ring of contenders.

While a winner-take-all meeting featuring both Tigers teams would be a Week 8 dream matchup, No. 6-3A Belle Plaine (3-0, 2-0) has several challenges on the slate that could make the season a nightmare, including this week's showdown with rival Waseca (2-1, 2-1). 

The Bluejays ended the Tigers' undefeated season with a 26-14 win last year.
