Both Northwestern (7-3) and St. Croix Central (9-1) have made it this far into the playoffs, but they square off this Friday at 5:00 PM to determine who is worthy to move on. Both teams come into the game backed by wins in their previous games.
Northwestern was able to grind out a solid victory over Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau last week, winning 29 - 17.
Meanwhile, St. Croix Central can now show off five landslide victories after its game last week. It breezed past Mauston last week with a final score of 48 - 26. St. Croix Central is ranked 40th in the state (many places ahead of Mauston), so the decisive victory wasn't entirely unexpected.
The last time they met, St. Croix Central got past Northwestern 35 - 20. This defeat knocked Northwestern out of the playoffs, so expect it to come at St. Croix Central with a vengeful fire.
