Hermantown at Cloquet
11 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 1

Hermantown has gotten the best of Cloquet in each of its past five meetings, including last year’s 2-1 victory in the Class 2A, Section 7 championship.

The Hawks (6-1-2, 4-0-0) seemed to have tightened up their defense for the final stretch of the regular season, posting shutouts in their past two games.

With a victory on Saturday, the Lumberjacks (4-4-1, 2-1-1) can avenge their only Lake Superior Conference loss of the season, and they'll attempt to do so while holding home-field advantage, which could play a factor as Cloquet attempts to defeat Hermantown for the first time since 2013.
