t should go without argument that the biggest regular-season game of the year will take place Wednesday when No. 1, Class 5A Eden Prairie (7-0) travels to play at No. 2, 5A Wayzata (7-0).

Here's hoping the game is as competitive as it was last year, when Wayzata won 28-27 in overtime after Eden Prairie failed on a two-point conversion attempt. The Trojans used that momentum to roll through the postseason, outscoring opponents 163-30 en route to the Class 5A championship. Game time is 7 p.m.

TURNABOUT

Zimmerman, which had its undefeated season ended by Fergus Falls on Oct. 7, played the opposite role Friday, handing St. Cloud Cathedral its first loss of the season, 24-14.

The Thunder (6-1, 5-0 in the Granite Ridge) can win the first championship in the new conference's history with a victory over Princeton on Wednesday.
