WEEK 7 GAMES TO WATCH
BAY CONFERENCE
Xavier (2-2) at Shawano (1-3)
The battle of the Hawks is for first place in the Bay. Shawano has never beaten Xavier since the series started in 2015. The conference standings are working out strange this season. A Shawano loss and they are on the playoff bubble and hope that criteria allows them a spot in the field of 224. A Shawano win and they are in the drivers seat to win a Bay Conference title in two weeks. Sophomore Quarterback Jerzy Brocker needs 6 passing yards to get 1000 yards on the season.
Winneconne (1-3) at Seymour (0-4)
Winneconne is coming off a tough loss to Shawano last week. They are in a four way tie for second place in the Bay. Seymour has yet to find a win this season as they have been struggling on offense.
New London (1-3) at Waupaca (1-3)
The winner of this game will be in a tie for either first or second place at the end of the night. The loser of this game will be on the playoff bubble and will be forced to win out and will need some help to get in. The game has potential to be a run fest as both teams have been relying on their running games this season.
CWC LARGE
Manawa (1-3) at Spencer Columbus Catholic (0-4)
Manawa can stay off the elimination bubble and officially eliminate SCC from any hopes of making the playoffs. Manawa is hoping to end a two-game losing streak.
Nekoosa (1-3) at Amherst (4-0)
Amherst looks to hold on to first place in the Conference. The Falcons have already locked up a playoff spot despite going 0-2 to start the season. Nekoosa needs to win to stay off the playoff elimination bubble.
Weyauwega-Fremont (2-2) at Stratford (4-0)
The Warhawks started 4-0, but have dropped two straight. Now they get co-leader Stratford, who is looking to keep pace on the top of the standings.
Wittenberg-Birnamwood ( 2-2) at Shiocton (2-2)
Both teams need to win to help their chances of making the playoffs. Shiocton comes in on a two game winning streak.
FVA
Kaukauna (3-1) at Neenah (4-0)
Neenah looks to keep pace with Kimberly and stay unbeaten on the season. Kaukauna could lock up a playoff spot tonight with a win.
Appleton North (2-2) at Oshkosh West (1-3)
Both teams have struggled in conference play this year. Oshkosh West needs to win to stay off the playoff elimination bubble.
Kimberly (4-0) at Fond Du Lac (2-2)
Fond Du Lac needs two wins to make the post season and will need to beat either Kimberly or Appleton North to get four conference wins.
Oshkosh North (0-4) at Appleton East (0-4)
Both teams are a long shot to make the playoffs, but the loser will officially be eliminated and the winner will hold on to slim hopes heading into the final two weeks.

Bay Port (4-0) at Ashwaubenon (2-2)
Bay Port needs to win to keep pace with West De Pere for a Conference Championship.
De Pere (2-2) at Green Bay Preble (0-4)

West De Pere (4-0) at Green Bay Southwest (1-3)
The Phantoms need to win to hold on to the Conference lead after locking up a playoff spot last week. Green Bay Southwest is trying to avoid being on the playoff bubble.
FRCC- South
Green Bay West (0-4) at Green Bay East (0-4)
Both teams are struggling once again this season, but the game is still exciting. The state’s longest continuously played rivalry dating to 1905, it is the fifth most-played rivalry overall, as they get together for the 117th time. East leads 63-50-3. The loser is officially eliminated from playoff contention.
Notre Dame (4-0) at Menasha (4-0)
Both teams are already in the playoffs, but this is the battle for the Conference Championship. Menasha has pitched three straight running clock shutouts. Notre Dame’s defense has allowed just 14 points in the last four games.
North Eastern
Freedom (4-0) at Little Chute (4-0)
Both teams are ranked, both teams are unbeaten and both teams are battling for County N. Both teams have found success with the ground game but have also proven that they can pass the ball. The winner will have an advantage in winning the conference title in the most competitive conferences in the state.
Luxemburg-Casco (2-2) at Denmark (2-2)
Both teams lost to the Conference front runners and look to get one step closer to the playoffs. The winner will get a chance to clinch next week.
Wrightstown (3-1) at Fox Valley Lutheran (3-1)
