BRAINERD PANTHERS (1-5, 1-1) at HOWARD HUSTLIN’ TIGERS (0-5, 0-1)
Storyline: The Panthers have struggled offensively and without defensive help might be winless going into the District 6-AA game. Their highest point production in a game is 29, and that came in their overtime upset win at East Ridge two weeks ago. Their nondistrict opponents’ record is a combined 16-5. Howard also has struggled offensively, scoring 34 total points. However, 18 of those came last week. The teams’ common opponent to date is unbeaten Baylor, which beat Howard 51-7 and Brainerd 41-13. Brainerd has won three of the last five meetings, including 26-19 a year ago.
