Mankato West at Marshall
1:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 20

Mankato West's players will have their endurance tested as the Scarlets play three games in three days this week.

The Scarlets host Albert Lea on Dec. 19, then hit the road to face No. 4-3A Marshall and complete the stretch with a contest in Worthington on Dec. 21.

Mankato West meets Marshall in a rematch of last season's Section 1 championship game, which the Tigers won 68-64 in overtime. Marshall also defeated the Scarlets 80-52 in the regular-season matchup.

The Scarlets faced one ranked Class 3A opponent this season, No. 5 Red Wing, but failed to slow the Wingers' hot shooting and lost 66-49 on Dec. 12.
