Prep Football: Where Will Fondy Go In The Postseason?


Fondy hosts Appleton North tonight at Fruth Field. A win by the Cardinals would get them at least a tie for 2nd in the FVA with a 6-3 record. The Lightning and Oshkosh West are also 5-3 heading into tonight’s regular season finale. With a win tonight, Fondy may also be in line for a home playoff game at Fruth Field. A loss and a 5-4 record, means they most likely go on the road to a conference champion.

You never really know for sure who or where a team will be going until the WIAA releases the pairings on Friday, but I’ve done some digging and here’s what I’ve found out about where Fondy might be headed. A win by Fondy could give them a home game against Sun Prairie out of the Big Eight Conference. They also might see a Green Bay school depending on how the brackets are split up.

A loss tonight by Fondy could send them on the road to one of three teams that will most likely grab at least a share of their conference championships in Hartland Arrowhead, Mequon Homestead or Hartford Union.

Again, this is just speculation on my part, with a little inside info from some people “in the know.” We do know that the official playoff pairings will come out on Friday during the mid-day. As soon as all the matchups come out we’ll tell you where the area teams are playing on News-Talk 1450 KFIZ. You can also check our website on Friday at kfiz.com to find out the pairings when they are released.

It's a big day for high school football today on News-Talk 1450 KFIZ. We have a double header on KFIZ. Fond du Lac Springs can become playoff eligible if they can win at Kettle Moraine Lutheran this afternoon. There are no lights at KML so that game kicks off at 4pm. We'll have the game on KFIZ today. Coverage begins at 3pm with the Backyard Grill Kickoff Show. When that game is done we'll go right to Fruth for Fondy and Appleton North.

On Thursday, WLA wraps up their regular season at Berlin. We'll be on the air with that one at 6:40pm on News-Talk 1450 KFIZ. After the game on Thursday hear the final regular season edition of Football Friday Night presented by Kremer Pharmacy.

All three high school games will be put up on the Internet at www.kfiz.com for your listening enjoyment and download by noon the day after the broadcast.

We’ll see you at the game tonight!

Wade, love the work you've been doing. I'll see if I can listen to ol' KFIZ online. Just keep the cussing to a minimum.

Yours in sports,
Ricardo
