They will host the winner of Thursday night's Eden Valley-Watkins vs. Upsala match for the Sub-Section 5A-South quarterfinals.
That will be held this Friday at 7pm at home.
If the Jaguars win, they would get a second home playoff match next Tuesday (November 3rd) against the other remaining team still alive.
EV-W (3-18, 1-6 CMC) is the #5 seed in the southwest pod, while Upsala (18-5-1, 8-2 Prairie) is seeded number four.
The seven-team southwest pod is very competitive, with Kimball Area (20-6) at number two, Osakis (17-6-3) at number three, and Upsala (18-5-1) at number four.
In the northwest pod of Section 5A, Sebeka (20-5-1) swiped the #1 seed from Bertha-Hewitt (25-4), mostly due to their 3-0 sweep of the Bears on October 22 in the Park Region conference championship.
Sebeka and Bertha-Hewitt are odds-on favorites to battle one another for the right to face the Jaguars in the Sub-Section Section 5A-West championship match, which will be held on Thursday, November 5th at Brainerd High School. (That assumes that the Jaguars will win their first two matches in the sub-section.)

10/29 action:
#7 Swanville at #2 Kimball Area - 7pm
