Blaine at Park Center
5 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 18

Blaine (6-2-2) and Park Center are two teams helping the Northwest Suburban Conference gain the reputation for having quality soccer squads.

Park Center (7-2-0) is No. 4 in Class 1A but recorded back-to-back losses last week to some of Class 2A's top teams. The Pirates fell to fifth-ranked Centennial and sixth-ranked Maple Grove, giving Park Center the only blemishes on a great season.
