We are in the final week of the Class AAA and Class AA high school football season, and just about to begin the Class A and 9-man playoffs. Lets take a look at some games that are catching my eye. AAA and AA will have some questions answered tonight as there are some top 5 matchups heading into the final week and could play a factor in the seeding in the upcoming playoffs.
Class AAA –
#4 Bismarck High @ #2 Bismarck Century
- The battle of the Bismarck’s is back again in the state capitol with both teams entering the matchup in the Top 5. Predictably, the loser of this game will hit the road when the playoffs start, while the winner will host a home game in the first round.
Class AA –
#4 Central Cass @ #2 Kindred
- The two familiar foes will meet once again. Both teams made the jump to AA when the season started. And the two will meet up in the last game of the season with some seeding on the line when the playoffs start next week. When these two meet, it usually ends in some fireworks, so let’s see who comes out on top. Will Kindred continue to cruise into the playoffs and hope to meet up with Minot North in the Dakotabowl? Or can Central Cass play spoiler?
Class A –
Central McLean @ Bottineau
- This is my favorite matchup from the first round of the Class A playoffs. Both Central McLean and Bottineau had good seasons but couldn’t crack into the Top 5 due to losses. This matchup will be just one of two matchups that feature teams with 1 or 2 losses facing each other in the first round. Central McLean coming into the matchup at 7-2, and Bottineau at 8-1. Either team will be disappointed with a first round exit. Who will come out on top?
9-man-
South Border @ North Border
- The Battle of the Borders! This is one of my favorites from the 9-Man Playoffs. Both teams feature heavy run games, so expect a fast, ground and pound style attack from both teams. North Border will have a big advantage being at home and South Border needing to make the long trip up north. Can South Border return home with a win, or will North Border run its way into the next round, where the winner of this matchup will predictably meet up with Powerhouse Lamoure-LM in the next round.
