Lakeville North at Lakeville South
5:30 p.m., Friday, Jan. 22

This intercity battle is always a classic, and this year is no exception as Lakeville North heads down the road to face a scrappy Lakeville South team making the South Suburban Conference one of the state's deepest leagues.

Led by senior Brianna Miller (14.0 ppg), Lakeville South (8-5, 2-4) has played some top-tier competition close this season. The Cougars dropped games to No. 10-4A Apple Valley (58-55) and No. 4-4A Eastview (50-45) before picking up a nice road win over Eagan (55-48) on Jan. 15.

Junior Temi Carda recently notched her 1,000th career point in a win over Apple Valley, becoming just the eighth player to reach the milestone at Lakeville North (12-2, 4-2). Carda leads the No. 5-4A Panthers' scoring attack, averaging 14.7 ppg. 

The crosstown rivals split last season's series and meet again on Feb. 23.
