Zimmerman at Albany
7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 18

Albany is also looking to stay perfect in league play when it hosts Zimmerman in a East Central North subdistrict game this week. It will be no easy task for the No. 6-3A Huskies (4-0, 3-0), as the No. 8-4A Thunder (3-1, 2-1) have started the season impressively.

The lone blemish on Zimmerman's record came last week when it came up just short against No. 1-4A Becker. The Bulldogs rallied to score the game-winning touchdown in the final minute.

Part of the Thunder's success has been their ability to efficiently run the football. Juniors Alex Riley, Ben Schnellman and Haydon Miller are Zimmerman's top rushers and each average at least 10.0 yards per carry.

Albany counters with Kyle Birr, who has run for 578 yards and five touchdowns.
