And the folks in Canton are planning on making it a show. Friday’s triangular in Canton also features Sioux Falls Jefferson. 

Several other duals to keep an eye on this week are Thursday’s Tri-Valley quadrangular that features Tri-Valley, Kingsbury County, Canton and McCook Central/Montrose. Also on Thursday night Pierre is at Watertown in a match featuring ranked Class A teams.
