Other games to keep an eye on

Ottertail Central vs. Pillager, 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14. Though it has changed leagues, Ottertail Central has remained a dominant program. The Bulldogs have finished atop the league standings in each of the last five seasons, and a win over Pillager (2-0, 1-0), which finished second in the Midwest Blue standings last year, would give the No. 10-1A Bulldogs (2-0, 1-0) a clear road to a sixth consecutive title.

Fairmont vs. Waseca, 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14. Averaging 59 points per game this season, No. 5-4A Waseca is the South Central Red subdistrict's highest scoring team. The Bluejays (2-0, 1-0) look to continue the trend against No. 4-3A Fairmont (1-1, 0-1).

DeLaSalle vs. Benilde-St. Margaret's, 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14. Benilde-St. Margaret's quest to defend its Suburban Red subdistrict crown continues this week against No. 10-4A DeLaSalle (1-1, 1-0), a team averaging 44.5 points per game. The Red Knights (1-1, 1-0) blew out the Islanders 60-21 in last season's meeting.
