Rosemount at Blaine
7 p.m., Friday, May 22

Blaine is vying for a top seed in the Section 7 tournament, and the Bengals could strengthen their case with a victory over powerhouse Rosemount.

Juniors John Hicke (32-24-56), Alec Larson (20-9-29), Ridge Gerads (12-9-21) and Tanner Jones (11-8-19) have carried the offensive load for Blaine (8-2), which dropped games only to No. 1 Champlin Park and No. 13 Maple Grove this season.

Attackmen Luke VanOverbeke (27-24-51) and Mason Hille (15-14-29), along with midfielder Simon Hatlen (24-9-33), lead No. 4 Rosemount (10-1).

The Irish trail two undefeated teams (Prior Lake and Bloomington Jefferson) in the Section 3 standings and may find the dynamic Hicke to be a thorn in their side should they overlook the Bengals in the regular-season finale.
