High School Football Week 7

October 13, 2023 12:01 am

Trinity’s win over Thomas Jefferson has historical significance but more immediate impact. With the win, the Hillers first over the Jaguars since 1987, Trinity is in position to clinch a playoff berth with two games left to play. A Trinity win at Laurel Highlands plus Thomas Jefferson and Latrobe wins tonight will wrap up a playoff spot for the first time since 2017. Hear Trinity at Laurel Highlands on WJPA-AM (1450).

#1 Ft. Cherry hosts #5 Cornell with at least a share of the Black Hills Conference lead on the line. Cornell lost at home last week to #2 Bishop Canevin, a team the Rangers beat the previous week. A Cornell win creates a three-way tie atop the standings while a Ft. Cherry victory sets the Rangers up to be the overall top seed in the 1A playoff bracket. We’ll have the Ft. Cherry / Cornell game on WJPA-FM (95.3).
