With one week left in the season, the playoff picture is coming into focus. We look at the situations of the teams in the Middle Border Conference.
Playoff Qualified
Rice Lake (7-1, 6-0)
Saint Croix Central (7-1, 5-1)
Baldwin-Woodville (6-2, 4-2)
Playoff Eligible and can clinch a playoff spot with one more win.
Ellsworth (5-3, 3-3) @ Saint Croix Central
Ellsworth is all but a lock for the playoffs, their win over D7#1 Edgar should get them through the tiebreakers even if they lose to the Panthers.
Work to do
Somerset (3-5, 2-4) vs Osceola
Somerset should make the playoffs, unless they fall to one win Osceola, their win over Bloomer gives them a great tiebreaker.
Amery (3-5, 2-4) vs Baldwin-Woodville
Amery needs an upset over Baldwin-Woodville to even have a shot at the playoffs, if they pull the upset they have a pretty good tiebreaker.
Prescott (4-4, 2-4) @ Rice Lake
Prescott has already pulled a pretty big upset, beating Regis Catholic in Week 1. If they can pull another upset here they would have a great shot of making the playoffs with wins over two playoff qualifiers.
Eliminated
Osceola (1-7, 0-6)
