We task our reporters with identifying several intriguing games throughout the state to assemble our Top Games of the Week. The matchups are presented in no particular order, and when there are additional games we want to highlight, we’ll include them with brief notes.
Grand Rapids vs. Cloquet, 7:15 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 13. Grand Rapids and Cloquet finished at the top of the Lake Superior Conference standings last year and will again this year. The question is, who will be first? No. 6-3A Grand Rapids (20-4, 4-0), which beat Cloquet (15-4, 3-0) in the 2021 Class 3A, Section 7 final, can assure itself of that spot with a victory.
Kasson-Mantorville vs. Cannon Falls, 7:15 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 11. Cannon Falls (16-5, 4-1) won the conference rivalry matchup last October and rode the momentum into the Class 2A state tournament. Can the No. 5-2A Bombers do it again? No. 3-3A Kasson-Mantorville (16-5, 5-1) has a tough week with a game against a strong Class 4A Rochester Century on Thursday.
