Thirty-one teams remained undefeated after a wild Week 7 trimmed the list. It will get a little smaller again this week as three battles of unbeatens take place.
The Classic Eight features a classic as Waukesha Catholic Memorial visits top-ranked, defending Division 1 champion Hartland Arrowhead with both squads sporting 5-0 league marks and 7-0 records. The Crusaders have outscored foes by a 334-75 margin, while the Warhawks have punished opponents to the tune of 291-44.
Another key matchup has Bloomer traveling to Hayward/Lac Courte Oreilles with both sitting at 5-0 in Heart O’North action and 7-0 overall.
And the third confrontation takes place at Edgar, where the Wildcats entertain Stratford in a contest that should decide the Marawood crown. Both squads are 6-0 in loop competition and 7-0 overall.
An important game in the Woodland Conference is the tilt between Pewaukee (6-0, 7-0) and New Berlin Eisenhower (6-0, 6-1), which knocked Greendale from the unbeaten ranks last week.
Battles for playoff spots intensify, while conference titles and postseason seeding will be affected by numerous other results, including: Whitehall (4-1, 4-3) at Blair-Taylor (5-0, 6-1) in the Dairyland; Appleton Xavier (5-2, 5-2) at Waupaca (7,-0, 7-0) in the Eastern Valley; Plum City (5-0, 7-0) at Elmwood (5-0, 6-1) in the Lakeland South; Brodhead-Juda (4-1, 6-1) at McFarland (5-0, 7-0) in the Rock Valley; Necedah (4-1, 6-1) at Bangor (5-0, 7-0) in the Scenic Bluffs; Kenosha Tremper (6-1, 6-1) at Racine Park (6-1, 6-1) in the Southeast; Lake Geneva Badger (3-1, 5-1) at Waterford (4-0, 6-1) in the Southern Lakes; Hustisford (4-1, 5-2) at Rio (5-0, 7-0) in the Trailways Small; River Valley (4-1, 6-1) at Lancaster (5-0, 6-1) in the Wisconsin Southwest; and Mayville (5-0, 6-2) at St. Mary’s Springs (5-0, 7-1) in the Wisconsin Flyway.
