WATCH: Two massive high school football games in the penultimate week of the season
The importance of wins in Week 8 of the high school football season couldn’t be higher for a variety of reasons, and WKTY will feature two such games on Friday night.
Holmen at Logan
Logan hosts Holmen at Swanson Field, where both need to win out this regular season to make the playoffs.
Logan (2-5, 2-3) was unable to dig out of a 21-point hole last week in a loss to Tomah, and ultimately fell 35-29. The Rangers have been snake bitten in one-score games this year. Four of their five losses have been by one possession, with three of them being by less than 3 points.
Bradley Check and Johnny Leaver continue to perform on offense, especially running the football.
The two have combining for 1,583 yards and 20 rushing touchdowns.
After this week, the Rangers will face the Central Riverhawks.
Meanwhile, Holmen (2-5, 2-3) has won two of its last three games, after dropping its first four contests.
Coverage on WKTY will begin at 6:45 with Teague Fenwick on the call.
