As high school football in southeastern Minnesota reaches its midway point in Week 4, several undefeated teams are set for critical matchups. LeRoy-Ostrander/Lyle/Pacelli continues to impress, holding the distinction of being the lone unbeaten team in its section and district, boasting an impressive 36.3 points per game average. Their defense allows a mere 8.3 points per game, ranking them sixth in the state for 9-Player teams.
In Section 1, Class 3A, the focus is on the highly anticipated clash between undefeated Pine Island and Winona Cotter. Both teams have answered questions about rebuilding after losing key seniors, starting the season 3-0. This game, a rematch of last year's regular-season battle of unbeatens, will determine at least one team's perfect record.
Other significant games include Caledonia, also undefeated, facing a tough Dover-Eyota team, and Rochester public-school teams competing in Section 1, Class 5A. The Mayo Spartans, coming off their first win against New Prague, are set to face the explosive offense of Northfield, who has outscored opponents significantly in recent weeks. This matchup is expected to be a close contest between two determined rivals.
