Glencoe-Silver Lake only led 10-7 at halftime against Litchfield in the Section 3AAA. This was familiar territory for the Panthers. They trailed the Dragons 9-7 in the regular season matchup.

No fear, the Panthers came through with a 30-7 win. G-SL will play Le Sueur-Henderson in the state quarterfinals for the second straight season. The game is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at Eden Prairie High School.

For a number of years, Hutchinson reigned supreme in Section 6AAAA. Whether they were the No. 1 seed or four seed, it seemed the Tigers had the number against teams such as Orono. Now in Section 2AAAA, it seems Mankato West is Hutchinson's nemisis.

The Scarlets knocked the Tigers out of the playoffs for the third straight season, 28-13, Friday in Mankato.
