The Southeast Conference will make Juneau its home this weekend.<\/p>\n
All four SEC teams — Juneau-Douglas, Thunder Mountain, North Pole, Ketchikan — play in the capital city tonight and tomorrow. The Ketchikan Kings (0-6, 0-1 SEC) make their second and final trip of the season to Juneau to play the Falcons (4-1, 1-0 SEC) tonight.<\/p>\n
The 7 p.m. conference game at TMHS will be the second time in three weeks the two sides have played one another.<\/p>\n
It’s technically the final home game of the season for Thunder Mountain, who finishes out the regular season next week against Juneau-Douglas (3-2, 1-0 SEC) at Adair-Kennedy Memorial Field.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, North Pole plays the Crimson Bears in both teams’ first meeting of the season at Adair-Kennedy at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n
A home team victory for either team clinches a spot in the Oct. 7 ASAA First National Bowl Division II (medium schools) semifinals at Palmer High School.<\/p>\n
The Soldotna Stars lead the hunt for the playoffs in the Northern Lights Conference, the other medium schools conference. The Stars (6-0, 2-0 NLC) boast a 55-game win streak that dates back to 2012.<\/p>\n
The No. 2 seed to come out of the SEC will almost certainly matchup against Soldotna, the likely Northern Lights Conference Champions and No. 1 NLC seed.<\/p>\n
The Falcons won the conference title last season for the first time in school history. TMHS defeated North Pole (22-20), Ketchikan (80-6) and Juneau-Douglas (37-0) in the final three weeks of the regular season to clinch one of two No. 1 playoff seeds.<\/p>\n
Despite losing to the Falcons last year, North Pole knocked off the other two conference teams in Juneau-Douglas (48-6) and Ketchikan (58-14) to earn the No. 2 seed.<\/p>\n
