Perhaps the best (and last) chance for No. 1 Minnetonka to suffer a loss this season happens when the Skippers host Edina at 2 p.m. Saturday. Not that we’re rooting against ‘Tonka. Just pointing out the weight of Saturday’s showdown. After all, the second-ranked Hornets ended No. 3 Wayzata’s unbeaten run.
