Here'a a preview of the WIAA Division 4 and 5 Championship football games this Thursday at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison.
Div. 5 Amherst (12-0) vs. Lancaster (12-0) – 4 pm
Lancaster, last year’s runner-up, is back in the title game for the ninth time, which ranks as third-most of any member school. The Flying Arrows are tied for the second-most number of State championships won with six. They are the champions of the Southwest Wisconsin Conference this season. The Flying Arrows have amassed 524 points this season for an average of 44 points per game and have held opponents to 14 points or under in all but one game.
Amherst will make its first-ever appearance in a title game. The Falcons turned back defending champion Colby 34-6 in their Level 4 match-up to reach the final game in their playoff journey. They are the champions of the Central Wisconsin 8 Conference this fall. The Falcons have outscored their opponents 491-102 in 12 games this season.
Div. 4 Somerset (11-1) vs. Big Foot (12-0) – 7 pm
Somerset returns to the championship final for a second straight season after finishing runner-up last year and for the fifth time overall. They defeated Black River Falls 32-8 in the semifinal to earn another shot at the title. They average more than 33 points per game and are allowing less than eight points a game.
Big Foot is back in the title game for the third time, and the first since the second of back-to-back experiences in 2008 and 2009. The Chiefs captured the crown in the second of those appearances after finishing runner-up the year before. They are the champions of the South Division of the Rock Valley Conference this season. The Chiefs have yet to be in a close game this season and have defeated opponents by an average of 36 points per game.
