Wausau East is on the brink of its first playoff appearance since 2012, with a 16-14 win over Merrill on Saturday getting the Lumberjacks to three wins in the Great Northern Conference and onto the proverbial postseason bubble. Junior kicker Gio Gomez nailed a 29-yard field goal with just 35 seconds remaining to provide the game-winning points.

Junior kicker Beckett Koerten booted home a 35-game field goal as time expired to lift Bay Port to an improbable 19-17 victory over De Pere, remaining undefeated in the FRCC-North. Koerten also made both of his extra point attempts in the game, which saw the Pirates force a safety with 35 seconds remaining and then drive down to get in position for the game-winning kick.
