Yuba City has eye on league title, home playoff game
Sutter riding 29-game league winning streak tonight
Week 10 marks the end of the regular season for Sac-joaquin Section teams, while the Northern Section plays through the first week of November to determine final playoff seeds and match-ups.
In the NSCIF, the postseason opt-out date will be Nov. 4 with the seeding meeting set for Nov. 6.
Teams that qualify for the playoffs can choose not to participate, so long as they opt-out by Nov. 4, the section stated in a news release.
According to the release, a school electing to opt-out must notify, in writing, the commissioner and sport advisory chair by the optout date, or risk a $1,000 fine.
To reduce the fine to $500, school administration must present a corrective action plan at the next executive council meeting and attend the administrative workshop in August, the section stated.
The section seeding meeting for football is 9 a.m. Nov. 6 at the Red Bluff High School library conference room, located at 1260 Union St. It is open to the public.
The following is a breakdown of where the mid-valley is headed tonight and Saturday in week 10 of the prep football season.
The Honkers come into senior night with plenty to play for, including a piece of a Capital Valley Conference championship with a win and an
Antelope loss at River Valley.
Antelope (8-0), the projected No. 2 seed in the Sac-joaquin Division II playoffs, will travel to Yuba City to take on the Honkers’ crosstown rival, River Valley (1-7, 1-4) to end the regular season.
In addition to a league title, Yuba City is trying to solidify a home playoff game next week. To date, Sacramento Maxpreps projects the Honkers as the No. 5 seed to host Golden Valley (Merced) in division III.
Both Yuba City matchups are set to begin at 7:15 p.m. today (Friday).
The Indians travel south tonight to conclude the regular season at Pioneer Valley League foe Foothill. Marysville is in desperate shape of a win after dropping three of its last four games by a combined 10 points.
Currently, Sacramento Maxpreps does not have Marysville in the playoffs, but that could change at Sunday’s selection show beginning at 1:30 p.m.
