“They’ve got their kids rolling and they’re going to be a tough opponent. We don’t shy away from tough opponents. We haven’t this year. We’ve played one of the toughest schedules in Class 1A with what we’ve done. Our scrimmages over the breaks, have been against some of the toughest teams that you’ll play. In fact, most of them were ranked,” says Maske. “We’re up to the challenge. It’ll be a good chance for us to do some things. Then really come out of there, hopefully feeling good about what we’ve accomplished and ready for the postseason play.”
