Thunder Mountain (5-2 OA; 2-0 C), Juneau-Douglas (3-4 OA; 1-1 C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Falcons and Crimson Bears football teams face off in the final weekend of Southeast Conference with Juneau-Douglas visiting the Thunderdome for a 7 p.m. kickoff today. The only remaining unbeaten team in conference play, Thunder Mountain has secured one of the Southeast Conference\u2019s two berths to the medium school playoffs. <\/p>\n

Juneau-Douglas will need a win or a North Pole loss to nab the second spot. North Pole hosts Ketchikan in Southeast Conference play on Friday. Thunder Mountain has secured the outright No. 1 seed already, crucially avoiding a semifinal matchup against Soldotna, the undefeated four-time back-to-back medium school state champs.<\/p>\n

Juneau\u2019s two teams started their season with a Aug. 13 game at Adair-Kennedy Field. The Falcons won that non-conference tilt 50-20. <\/p>\n

Look for coverage of Glacier Bowl in Sunday\u2019s paper and at the Empire online Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n

Cross country state championships<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Juneau-Douglas High School cross country boys and girls teams won regionals last weekend, qualifying seven boys and seven girls runners a trip to Saturday\u2019s state meet at Bartlett High School in Anchorage. Thunder Mountain qualified two boys and two girls.<\/p>\n

Making the trip to Anchorage for the JDHS boys are: Arne Ellefson-Carnes (qualifying time of 17 minutes); Clem Taylor-Roth (17:28); Tim McKenna (17:55); Shadrach Stitz (18:01); John White (18:06); Kadin Doddridge (19:33); and Aaron Blust (19:53).<\/p>\n

For the Crimson Bears girls: Sadie Tuckwood (18:12); Anna Iverson (19:40); Jessie Greg (21:32); Elizabeth Ramseth (21:36); Gillian Smith (21:50); Eva Goering (22:22); Sosan Monsef (23:15).<\/p>\n

Thunder Mountain\u2019s Erin Wallace (19:09) and Sally Thompson (21:21) will represent the girls while Justin Sleppy (17:46) and James Burger (17:59) will represent the boys.<\/p>\n

Tuckwood\u2019s 18:12 at last weekend\u2019s regional meet in Sitka is currently the fastest girls time logged at an official meet this season. Tuckwood\u2019s region finish is 8 seconds better than Briahna Gerlach of Glenallen\u2019s 18:20 and 42 seconds faster than West Valley\u2019s Kendall Cramer, who ran an 18:54 in early September and is Tuckwood\u2019s closest 4A competitor. Last year\u2019s 4A girls state champion, West High\u2019s Molly Gellert, won state with an 18:57. <\/p>\n

Though the Bartlett course is one of the state\u2019s toughest, with a cushion of more than 30 seconds on her closest 4A competitor, the race is Tuckwood\u2019s for the taking.<\/p>\n

The 4A girls race starts at 12:45 while the boys race is slated for 2:15. Look for coverage in Monday\u2019s print edition and at the Empire online Saturday evening.<\/p>\n\n

Volleyball<\/strong><\/p>\n

JDHS travels to Barrow<\/p>\n

Juneau-Douglas\u2019 spikers travel to Barrow for matches against Monroe, Lathrup and Barrow this weekend. Falcons volleyball makes the trip to Ketchikan for two Southeast Conference matches Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n\n

Swimming<\/strong><\/p>\n

JDHS swim and dive will compete at Petersburg this weekend while TMHS\u2019 team is heading to Sitka. Both teams will compete in one meet Friday and one Saturday.<\/p>\n

Look to the Empire online for results.<\/p>\n
