Mounds View at Centennial
11 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 20

Mounds View at Centennial might not have seemed like an obvious choice for a top game selection when the schedules were released, but the Cougars' play has changed that thinking.

Centennial is off to a surprising start. The Cougars are 8-0-1 and undefeated in the Northwest Suburban Conference, helping them earn the No. 5 spot in the Class 2A rankings. 

The Mustangs, however, are not surprising anyone. They started the season ranked as one of the state's best and climbed as high as No. 2 in the polls. Mounds View is currently No. 8 but still playing well. The Mustangs are 7-1-1.
