SPRING LAKE PARK FOOTBALL PREVIEW
Spring Lake Park High School (0-0 North Suburban Conference) vs. Irondale (0-0 North Suburban Conference)

PLAYMAKERS
Panthers Seniors: The seniors will play a vital role in the first game of the season. Defeating the Irondale for a second straight year will be a difficult task, especially when having to play on the Knights home field.

PANTHERS WIN IF...
They can quite the Knights home field crowd by scoring early. The longer the Panthers go without scoring a touchdown, the louder the crowd will get.
