Dawson-Boyd vs. Southwest Minnesota Christian                      
at Southwest Minnesota State University
2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 6

Dawson-Boyd and Southwest Minnesota Christian are two teams that have done a good job of dominating Class 1A's Section 3 in recent years.

Could it be a preview of another playoff matchup when Blackjacks and the Eagles square off at Southwest Minnesota State University on Saturday afternoon? Only time will tell.

Dawson-Boyd is No. 5 in the latest poll due in part to last season's 23-3 record. One of the Blackjacks' losses was 64-60 to Southwest Minnesota Christian in a regular-season game. 

The Eagles have had tremendous success in recent years, winning a Class 1A state title in 2013 and finishing as runner-up in 2012, but had a "down" year last season when they finished 25-3.
