McKenzie (16-5, 11-1) at Dresden (10-6, 8-2) (Boys)

What to know: A win here would bring McKenzie close to a regular season district title with three district games to play. The Rebels are on a six-game winning streak since the Christmas break. But winning on the road in this district isn’t easy. Dresden has played inconsistent over the last three weeks. A win here though could correct a lot and give the Lions confidence moving forward.
