Hopkins at Jordan
7:15 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 26

Five is the number of the night at Jordan, where the fifth-ranked Jaguars in Class 2A host fifth-ranked Hopkins from Class 3A.

While both teams are highly-regarded statewide, neither is the favorite in their own section, as Jordan has to contend with top-ranked Belle Plaine in Section 2AA and Hopkins is slotted behind No. 3 Eden Prairie in the preseason.

That doesn’t diminish from this matchup, which features a pair of coach’s kids who can play: the favorite for Miss Volleyball, Hopkins’ setter Samantha Seliger Swenson, daughter of coach Vicki Swenson; and Jordan sophomore setter Lexie Chambers, the daughter of coach Colleen Chambers.

It also includes two rising sophomore hitters, Jordan’s Kenzie Hennen and Hopkins’ Jasmyn Martin.
