Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Pillager should expect quite the challenge on Friday. Paynesville will go up against Pillager in continuing playoff action. The stakes are high as the two teams are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Pillager brought a seven-game winning streak into their game against Osakis last week; they left with an eight-game streak. It was just another Friday night under the lights for Pillager, who beat Osakis 30-16. Junior Luke Woidyla, who rushed for 141 yards and 2 touchdowns on 14 carries, was a major factor in Pillager's success. Woidyla has now scored at least one touchdown in the past five games.
Meanwhile, Paynesville earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last Friday. They took the contest with ease, bagging a 56-0 win over Minnewaska Area. For those of you keeping count, this is Paynesville's eighth stomp of the season.
Their wins bumped Pillager to 10-1 and Paynesville to 8-2. We'll see who bends and who breaks when these two typically dominant teams face off.
