Class 3A state champion Eastview begins its title defense against Edina on Monday, but jumps into the rugged play of the South Suburban Conference on Tuesday with a game at Lakeville North.

The Lightning, who clinched a share of the league title last year with a 5-4 win over Shakopee in the regular-season finale, look to sort out the lineup after graduating six seniors.

The Panthers, meanwhile, will try to make their way through an ultra-competitive conference schedule with a junior-heavy lineup.

This early season tilt begins what should be a race to the wire for the South Suburban crown and makes it our pick for the Top Game of the Week.
