New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva (4-1) vs. Maple River (2-3), 7 p.m.

The Panthers had five turnovers and allowed over 500 yards of total offense against the Bucs.
However, the Panthers will look to get back on track defensively and look to quarterback Sam Lundberg and its arsenal of offensive weapons to get back on track against the Eagles.
Maple River comes into the game having lost to MVL last week 14-12. The Eagles two wins of the season have been against LWCM and GFW.

The Vikings will look for another big game from Capitani, and from runningbacks Dylan Nitcher and Nik Werner.
On the other side, the Bison took out Southeast Webster to the tune of 47-15.
Before the 47 point outburst, North Iowa had only scored above 20 points once this season.

United South Central (2-3) at No.1 Waterville-Elysian-Morristown (5-0), 7 p.m.
The outlook: The United South Central Rebels will take an important road trip this Friday as they travel to Waterville to face the Buccaneers.
The Rebels will have to play a much better game than last Friday night when they lost to LC-WM 7-0.
While the Rebels have been relatively solid on defense, the lack of scoring by the offense has been a sticking point for USC this season.
WEM comes into the game on a tear after blowing out previously undefeated NRHEG 46-6.
The Buccaneers had over 500 yards of total offense with six rushing touchdowns and forced five NRHEG turnovers in the game.
The WEM offense has scored over 30 points five times this season, while the defense has held opponents under 16 points all season.
However, can you name the only team that was able to defeat the Buccaneers last season on their way to a state championship?
It was the Rebels of United South Central.
Stats: Offense points per game: USC 12.2 WEM 41.2
Points allowed per game: USC 11.8 WEM 9.2
