ELSEWHERE:

SARTELL (0-4) @ BEMIDJI (2-2) 

The Sabres' struggle to find the end zone continued last week with a 41-6 loss at Bemidji. Sartell has scored 19 points in four games this season, granted those four games were all against quality opponents.

The Lumberjacks snuck past St. Cloud Tech last wek for a 43-35 win.

APOLLO (0-4) @ SPECTRUM (0-4) 

The Eagles will hit the road for a matchup with the winless Sting. Apollo has suffered three lopsided losses since their close game with Chisago Lakes in week one, losing 33-7 at home against Foley last week.

The Sting will try to bounce back after a 40-6 loss at Watertown-Mayer last week.

TECH (0-4) @ MOORHEAD (2-2)
