Looking ahead, Rogers will welcome Eagan at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Royals will be up against the Wildcats' rather soft defense (which has allowed 26.86 points per matchup), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Anoka, they will head out on the road to face off against Centennial at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
