CHEAT SHEET
SITE: Forest Lake
TIME: 7:15 a.m. Friday
LAST MEETING: Roseville won 68-48 on the road and 56-22 at home last year in their two conference meetings.

ON THE LINE
The Raiders are ranked No. 8 in Class 4A and are off to an undefeated start. Roseville finished tied for third in the tough Suburban East Conference and 18-10 overall last season, losing to Osseo in the second round of the Section 5AAAA playoffs. Forest Lake started the season 5-6, but won just two of their last 15 games of the year.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Jacqlyn Poss - Roseville guard
The junior is leading the team with 17.8 points per game. The captain has scored in double figures in all five games this season.

Bailey Norby – Forest Lake forward
The sophomore is averaging 13.7 points per game this season.  She has scored in double figures in five of her six games this season. Norby had 28 points versus Mounds View, but was held to just one point in a loss to White Bear Lake.

RAIDERS WIN IF...
They can continue to get balanced scoring from a very young team. They have three players averaging more than ten points per game, despite not having a senior of their roster. 

RANGERS WIN IF...
They can bounce back from back-to-back conference losses. They need to get more scoring help for Norby, who is the team’s lone double figure scorer.
