Ashwaubenon needed to win in Week 9 just to get on the playoff bubble, and the Jaguars took down Green Bay Preble 16-14, which was enough to get the team into the playoffs as one of the 3-4 qualifiers. Quarterback Malcolm McGrath threw for 204 yards and a touchdown in the win.

Mayville defeated Lomira 21-14, forcing a three-way tie for the Flyway Conference title between the two teams and Saint Mary's Springs. Sawyer Hardesty ran for a team-high 88 yards with a touchdown, while Ryan Clark and Joren Schlender also scored rushing touchdowns.

Dawson Weber threw for 137 yards and two scores, adding a short touchdown in the fourth quarter to put the team on top.
