Camden Knuckles – WR – Lakers

After gaining 100 yards on only 3 catches last week, Knuckles looks to have another big game against Edina.

 

Peter Smith – K – Hornets

High school games can come down to just a few points and field position. This appears to be one of those games. If Smith can stay accurate, his leg might just be what leads the Hornets to a win.

 

Lakers Win If...

They get their passing game going early and often. They need to attack the air and the defensive backs of the Hornets.

 

Hornets Win If...

They can contain the wide receivers of the Lakers. Their defensive backs need to be on their “A” game for the Hornets to come out with a win.
