St. Francis at Rogers
7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 12

St. Francis must keep senior running back John Santiago on the field if the Fighting Saints (1-1) hope to pick up a road victory at Rogers, No. 5 in Class 5A.

Santiago gained 231 total yards and scored two touchdowns despite suffering leg cramps in the second half of St. Francis' 35-27 loss to St. Michael-Albertville last week.

Rogers (2-0) has cruised to victories in the season's first two weeks. The Royals' defense surrendered one touchdown, a late fourth-quarter score to Buffalo, in their two games while their offense racked up 380 yards and committed no turnovers last week.

Rogers won last year's matchup against St. Francis 42-32.
