Mayer Lutheran at Blooming Prairie
7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 13

With the postseason right around the corner, two teams poised for playoff runs square off when Mayer Lutheran visits Blooming Prairie.

Both reside in difficult sections, with the No. 9-1A Crusaders sitting in Section 4, where there's four teams with records of 5-1 or better. The No. 12-1A Awesome Blossoms are stuck with No. 4-1A Goodhue and No. 1-1A Rushford-Peterson in Section 1.

Each team hopes to regain its form down the stretch. Mayer Lutheran (6-0, 6-0) narrowly snuck by Bethlehem Academy 14-7 last week, while Blooming Prairie (5-1, 5-1) sat idle with a win when Hayfield forfeited the game due to a lack of healthy players. The Vikings lost to Goodhue 35-13 two weeks ago.
