Other games to keep an eye on

Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City vs. Minnewaska, 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 13. There might be something in the water in Atwater. How else do we explain that Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City (2-0, 1-0) has not one but two of the state’s leading rushers? Expect a high-scoring game against Minnewaska (2-0, 1-0), which has 88 points through two weeks.

LeRoy-Ostrander vs. Grand Meadow, 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 13. Grand Meadow (2-0, 2-0) is the state’s No. 1-ranked 9-Man squad and winner of four state titles since 2013. But don't count out unranked LeRoy-Ostrander (2-0, 2-0) in this matchup of neighboring schools situated just north of the Iowa border — the Cardinals have amassed a combined 123 points in their two victories.

Rocori vs. Hutchinson, 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 13. No. 2-4A Hutchinson (2-0, 1-0) faces what figures to be its most difficult challenge of the season in Rocori (2-0, 1-0), winner of its season-opening games by a combined 53-12.
