WEEK 9 GAMES TO WATCH

BAY CONFERENCE

Winneconne (2-4) at Waupaca (3-3)
Waupaca will qualify for the playoffs with a win, and will still likely qualify with a loss thanks to a quality win over Shawano. Winneconne would be eliminated with a loss. They do not have a quality win as of yet, but a win over Waupaca would be one and would likely put them in.

New London (1-5) at Xavier (4-2)
Xavier secures the Bay Conference Title with a win.

CWC LARGE

Amherst (1-5) at Stratford (6-0)
This was going to be for the Conference title, but after news of Amherst having an ineligible player and having to forfeit their wins, Stratford has won the CWC-Large.

Manawa (2-4) at Weyauwega-Fremont (3-3)
Weyauwega-Fremont is for sure in with a win, but do not have a strong tie-breaker number if they lose. Manawa can get on the bubble with a win but it may be difficult for them to get in with their tie breaker number. Neither team has a quality conference win.

Spencer Columbus/Catholic (1-5) at Shiocton (4-2)
News of Amherst forfeits now gives Shiocton another win and a qualification for the playoffs before tonight’s game.

Wittenberg-Birnamwood (5-1) at Nekoosa (2-4)
Nekoosa needs to win to get on the playoff bubble, and the win over Wittenberg-Birnamwood would for sure put them in. The Chargers are already in and are playing for seeding purposes.

FVA

Appleton North (4-2) at Oshkosh North (2-4)
Appleton North is already in the post season and is battling for a share of second place. Oshkosh North is out with a loss and would make it in with a win since Appleton North would be a quality tie breaker win.

Kaukauna (4-2) at Kimberly (5-1)
Kimberly looks to lock up at least a share of the Conference title. Kaukauna needs to win to keep pace for second place.

Neenah (5-1) at Appleton East (0-6)
Neenah needs to win to lock up a share of the Conference Title.

Oshkosh West (1-5) at Fond Du Lac (3-3)
Fond Du Lac is in with a win. They are also almost for sure in even with a loss with their win over Kimberly.

FRCC-North

West De Pere (6-0) at Bay Port (6-0)
Everything is on the line in Bay Port on Friday. The winner will win the conference title and will be a top seed in the post season.

De Pere (3-3) at Ashwaubenon (3-3)
The winner is in the playoffs. The loser will have a tougher time getting in as both teams have low tie-breaker numbers.

Green Bay Preble (0-6) at Pulaski (4-2)
Pulaski is already locked into the postseason and a win will give them a strong hold on third place in the standings behind two tough teams.

Green Bay Southwest (1-5) at Menasha (6-0)
Menasha needs to win to secure the FRCC-South Conference title.

FRCC- South

Manitowoc Lincoln (3-3) at Notre Dame (5-1)
Notre Dame looks to hold on to second place in the standings with a win. Manitowoc Lincoln will need to beat Notre Dame to get into the postseason since their tie-breaker number is low.

Sheboygan North (3-3) at Green Bay West (0-6)
Sheboygan North is in the playoffs with a win over Green Bay West. Their playoff tie-breaker number may be too low to get in if they lose.

Green Bay East (1-5) at Sheboygan South (1-5)
Both teams seasons will come to a close after Friday.

North Eastern

Fox Valley Lutheran (3-3) at Freedom (5-1)
Fox Valley Lutheran is for sure in with a win and likely still in even with a loss due to beating Xavier from the Bay Conference. Freedom needs to win to hold on to second place alone in the Conference, or can share the title with a win and a Little Chute loss.

Little Chute (6-0) at Denmark (3-3)
Little Chute will win the North Eastern Conference Championship and set themselves up for top seed in the playoffs with a win. Denmark is for sure in with a win, but would also likely still get in with a loss due to beating Shawano and Luxemburg-Casco.

Wrightstown (4-2) at Luxemburg-Casco (3-3)
Luxemburg-Casco is for sure in with a win and is likely still in with a loss due to beating quality teams like Winneconne, Xavier and Fox Valley Lutheran.

Northwoods

Coleman (6-0) at Crandon (5-1)
Coleman would be an unbeaten Conference Champion with a win and set up to be a top seed in the postseason. Crandon is already in and would win a share of the Conference Championship with a win.

Oconto Falls (3-3) at Crivitz (5-1)
Oconto Falls is for sure in the postseason with a win, and that may be their best road to get there as they do not have a strong tiebreaker number. Crivitz could still win a share of the Conference with a win and Coleman loss.

Tomahawk (2-4) at Clintonville (3-3)
The winner of this game is likely in as Clintonville would have the four wins needed and Tomahawk would increase their tie breaker number by defeating the Truckers. Clintonville should still have a strong enough tie breaker number to qualify even with a loss.

Packerland

Marinette (1-5) at Mishicot (2-4)

Oconto (1-5) at Bonduel (4-2)

Peshtigo (1-5) at Kewaunee (5-1)

Southern Door (6-0) at Sturgeon Bay (4-2)

VFA

DC Everest (4-2) at Wausau West (5-1)

Marshfield (5-1) at Hortonville (2-4)

SPASH (2-4) at Appleton West (1-5)

Menominee at Rapids (6-1)

8-Man Football

Tri County (1-6) at Newman (7-0)
