Lakeville North vs Hopkins

7 PM Thursday 8/28 at Panther Stadium

 With Lakeville North Football opening their season Thursday against Hopkins here are a few things to look for from a Panther Standpoint

1. Can the Offense move the football? In Fall Camp practices the offense has struggled to move the ball, though that is against perhaps the #1 defense in the state. Look for the offense to move the ball better against Hopkins.

2. Defensive Shutdown As Head Coach Vossen has said, the Lakeville North Defense may be the best in the State. Expect the defense to shut down Hopkins for most of the night.

3. Quick Start The Panthers will want to get out of the gate early and let the defense take over the game. North will also want to start the season on the right foot with a win against Hopkins.
