Other games to keep an eye on

Park of Cottage Grove vs. Stillwater, Thursday, Jan. 24, 7:30 p.m. Stillwater's offense has come back to earth, resulting in the Ponies (8-8-0, 6-3-0) losing seven of their last eight games. Park of Cottage Grove (8-9-1, 4-5) is 4-3 in 2019 and seems to be moving in a positive direction. This duel offers Stillwater (four or more goals in two of its last three, but not more than three in the eight prior) a chance to get the scoring back on track, as the Wolfpack allow 3.88 goals per game.

Breck vs. Providence Academy, Thursday, Jan. 24, 7 p.m. Breck (8-9, 3-2) is in line to earn a home game in the Class 1A, Section 2 playoffs after winning three of its last four games. Providence Academy (6-11, 2-1) could easily play spoiler, both in Independent Metro Athletic Conference and section play, with and offense boasting two of the state's top seven scorers: Zachary Geisler (25-21-43) and Grant Ellington (14-32-42).
