Welcome to Lakeville South High School, where the Lakeville South Cougars will host the traveling Shakopee Sabers. This Minnesota matchup features two familiar South Metro programs who are ready to renew a competitive rivalry on the gridiron. 

Lakeville South currently holds the edge in the recent series, winning two of the last three meetings between these programs. However, the Sabers enter this matchup with momentum from the most recent meeting, earning a thrilling 16-12 victory over the Cougars in 2025. Lakeville South answered in the 2023 playoffs with a dominant 30-13 win over Shakopee, while the Cougars also claimed a 28-10 victory during the 2022 regular season. 

With both programs boasting strong football traditions and post-season aspirations, Friday night promises another hard-fought chapter between Lakeville South and Shakopee. The Cougars will look to defend their home field and reclaim the momentum, while the Sabers will look to build on last season’s narrow victory.
