The latest "Game of the Year" in the Division III North Conference takes place on Friday night in Swanzey.
Inter-Lakes/Moultonborough, which won the last "Game of the Year" two weeks ago in a blowout of Newport, will take on Monadnock, which hasn't allowed a point all season, on Friday at 6:30 p.m. at the home of the Huskies.
Monadnock has amazingly not allowed a point this season, recording four consecutive shutouts while scoring 172 points, but that has been against teams with a combined 4-12 record.
The Lakers have been just as good this year, posting two shutouts in a row, and outscoring opponents 180-13. Those opponents are a combined 6-10.
But that's not the only big game in the division this week, as the top two teams in the South, Campbell and Bishop Brady, face each other on Saturday night in Concord.
Here is a look at what the Division III postseason would like if the playoffs started this week.
