Orono at Waconia
7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 19

The Wright County Conference East Division is absolutely stacked with top-notch teams this season, which has led to several quality matchups early in the league schedule, including this week as No. 6-3A Orono travels to No. 10-3A Waconia.

The Spartans (14-3, 2-1) and Wildcats (12-3, 2-1) are vying with New Prague and Delano for the conference crown, and Orono and Waconia both need a win to avoid falling further behind division-leading New Prague (12-5, 3-0).

The Spartans and Wildcats recently recorded their first league losses of the season, as Orono fell to New Prague 58-56 on Jan. 12 and Waconia losing to Delano 83-80 on Jan. 8.
