Willmar at Alexandria
7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 26

It's a classic same-mascot matchup as the Cardinals face the Cardinals in the Central Lakes Conference finale on Friday

If all goes well for Willmar this week, the Cardinals (16-7, 12-2) can earn a share of the league title. First, they have to play a rare back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday against Sartell-St. Stephen and New Ulm.

Willmar then hits the road to face No. 9-3A and Central Lakes leader Alexandria (18-6, 13-1), which cruised to a 53-39 road victory on Jan. 16 in the first matchup.
