Lakeville North vs. Maple Grove
Noon, Wednesday, Dec. 28

The first day of the Sports Authority Classic brings a battle between two upward trending squads, as Lakeville North and No. 18-2A Maple Grove meet in a midday matinee . 

Lakeville North (4-1-1, 2-1-1) is a young squad that continues to show growth in picking up a few qualities wins already this season. But the No. 9-2A Panthers face their most concentrated stretch of top competition in this round-robin tournament, starting with the Crimson. 

Maple Grove (5-2, 1-1) is a veteran-laden team led in scoring by senior captain Sam Huff (10-8-18), who is averaging greater than 2.5 points per game.

Lakeville North continues to be led by senior Henry Enebak (5-6-11), a three-year mainstay at forward who is committed to play at St. Cloud State.
