Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa at Maple Lake
7:15 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 17

Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa has played a tough schedule, resulting in a 2-3 overall record for the No. 14-1A Jaguars. Losses to No. 6-1A Heritage Christian and No. 4-3A Lakeville South should prepare BBE for conference play, and a win over No. 19-3A East Ridge will boost the Jaguars' confidence heading into this matchup. 

Maple Lake (8-0) has posted marquee wins over No. 10-2A Rocori and No. 12-2A Hill-Murray. The No. 3-2A Irish have outscored opponents 50-29 in the often decisive fourth set, which could play a role in this Central Minnesota Conference game.
