Football Friday: Stillwater at White Bear Lake

Both teams started the season with victories, but only one can be 2-0 after this week.

LAST WEEK

White Bear Lake (1-0, 1-0 Suburban East Conference) took care of Roseville 28-13; Stillwater (1-0, 1-0 Suburban East) held off Woodbury 27-20.

PLAYMAKERS

-Nick Anderson (Stillwater, running back)

Anderson rushed for a game-high 104 yards in the Ponies' season-opening win over Woodbury.

-Nate Ricci (Stillwater, quarterback)

Ricci threw for 70 yards and had a pair of touchdown passes to help the Ponies get past the Royals.

-Shane Warner (White Bear Lake, running back)

PONIES WIN IF …

They can maintain their intensity coming off last week's emotional victory over their head coach's former team.

BEARS WIN IF …

They can continue to make big plays on defense. They were able to take advantage of a number of Roseville turnovers last week, and will need to do the same against the Ponies if they hope to come out on top.
