The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. This Thursday Northwestern Area takes on Colman-Egan in the first playoff game of the year. Colman-Egan will be looking to take advantage of a struggling Northwestern Area defense that has allowed an average of 28 points per game.
Northwestern Area brought the heat last game after its low-scoring effort (seven points) in the match before. It blew past Iroquois last week 41 - 8. At 33 points, that marked Northwestern Area's largest margin of victory so far this year.
Meanwhile, Colman-Egan can now show off eight landslide victories after its game last week. It picked up a decisive 'W' against Arlington/Lake Preston last week, finishing up at 52 - 6. The margin wasn't a surprise since Colman-Egan is ranked 17 positions ahead of Arlington/Lake Preston in the state.
Their wins bumped Northwestern Area to 3-5 and Colman-Egan to 8-0. Can Northwestern Area pick up its first back-to-back wins of the season, or will Colman-Egan prove too much? We'll see soon enough.
