Monday Night Rapid Fire. Here are tonight’s games with a quick though.
Waconia at Delano. Tigers have to win this one to keep momentum built if they want to try and get to state.
Cooper at Washburn. Blue and Orange vs Darker Blue and Orange. Millers have lost four of their last five.
STMA at Big Lake. Big Lake is not playing well losing four of five while STMA is playing every body tough.
Maple Grove at Osseo. The neighbors go head to head, Crimson win this game if they are a state title contender.
Browerville at Apollo. Bryce Irsfeld comes to St. Cloud needing a win to boost momentum for the playoffs.
Tuesday Night Hot Ticket (and Why): Osseo and Blaine, go to see if the Bengals can get back to state through 7AAAA. Eden Prairie at Woodbury, Eagles have loaded up the non-league schedule late to prepare and Woodbury just beat CDH. St. Paul Central at St. Paul Humboldt, if Central wins they win the St. Paul City title. If they lose then Highland Park has a chance at the title if the beat Como Park. Watertown-Mayer at Rockford, not only do you have a ticket to see Trae Berhow but a great game as well. Minneapolis North at Hopkins, 1-loss North against red hot Hopkins who has Ishmael El-Amin ready to prove that he should have been top ten with Isaac Johnson. Esko at Crosby-Ironton, two of the best in Class AA go at it in a playoff potential preview. Rogers at Monticello, Rogers has been so good, but Matt Todd has been as well.
Friday Night Top Ten. Ten best game this Friday as teams fight for league and section positions, titles. Most of the Class AA and A schools will be getting ready for playoff games while the bigger schools have one less round of playoff games so one they have one more night of games.

Big South Crossover. Waseca and Marshall will play for the second of what could be three games this year. This game is Thursday at Marshall. Marshall won the previous game 78-61 at Waseca.
Also Thursday, Northern Minnesota has several important match-ups including the following: Esko at Virginia in a mega Northern Minnesota battle (Adam Trapp vs Ethan Youso and Bryce Kennedy in the middle), Rocori at Fergus Falls, St. Cloud Tech at Alexandria, and Breck at Annandale.
Saturday Title Games. Minneapolis North and St. Paul Central will be the city conference winners so that will likely be your Twin Cities Championship Game.
