Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted at Maple Lake
7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 16

Two teams with business to settle from last season will enter Week 3 on opposite sides of momentum as Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted travels to Maple Lake. 

The No. 6-2A ranked Lakers (1-1) are coming off a disappointing 18-14 loss to Melrose while the No. 8-2A Irish (2-0) upset reigning Class 3A state champion Pierz 20-6 in a huge league matchup.

Maple Lake took last season's regular-season game 46-14, but Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted got payback in the playoffs, ending the Irish's season with a 34-27 win in the Class 2A, Section 4 title game.
