Red Oak finished second in their home tournament on Sept. 20. The Tigers have had more than a week to prepare for the match-up with Harlan, who also hasn't played for a week.

The Cyclones have one loss on the season and it came Sept. 6 in West Des Moines to Dowling Catholic during a tournament.

Both Red Oak and Harlan faced off Sept. 30 at the Harlan Tournament. The Cyclones won that meeting 2-0.
