Four Narrows League teams -- South Kitsap, Olympia, Wilson and Central Kitsap -- have secured postseason berths, but the fifth seed is still up for grabs for Foss or Gig Harbor. Also, none of the teams are locked into a particular seed. That leaves plenty to play for on Thursday night.

Before we get to the seeding breakdown, here's this week's schedule:

Bellarmine Prep at Lincoln
Mount Tahoma at South Kitsap
Central Kitsap at Wilson
Shelton at Gig Harbor
Foss at Olympia
Stadium at Auburn Mountainview (non-league)


 
Now, to the seeding possibilities, courtesy of the Narrows League football commissioner Ed Ploof:

No. 1 Seed
If South Kitsap wins, they are the number one seed. If South Kitsap loses, Olympia wins and Wilson loses, South Kitsap is the number one seed. If South Kitsap loses, Olympia loses and Wilson wins, South Kitsap is the number one seed and Wilson is the number two seed based on SK’s victory over Olympia. If South Kitsap loses, Olympia wins and Wilson wins, Olympia is the number one seed, South Kitsap is the number two seed and Wilson is number three seed on point differential versus highest ranked common opponent (Gig Harbor).

Any ties for 1st place will share the Narrows League Championship.

Nos. 2 & 3 Seeds
If Olympia wins it is the number two seed. (Unless there is a three-way tie – see above). If Wilson wins and Olympia loses, Wilson is the number two seed. If Wilson and Olympia both lose, Olympia gets the number two seed, Wilson is No. 3 and Central Kitsap is No. 4, based on power ranking tiebreaker (vs. Gig Harbor)

Nos. 3 & 4 Seeds
If Olympia is the number two seed, the winner of Central Kitsap vs. Wilson is the number three seed and the loser is the number four seed. If Foss wins and Central Kitsap loses, Foss is the number four seed based on power ranking (vs. Olympia) and Central Kitsap is the number five seed.

No. 5 Seed
If Gig Harbor and Foss are tied, Gig Harbor wins the tiebreaker based on head-to-head criteria. The No. 5 seed will host a pigtail game against the No. 4 seed from the SPSL North on Tuesday, Nov. 3, to advance to the preliminary round of the state playoffs in Week 10.

Non Playoff Week 10 Games
All games are will be played at 7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 6.
Mount Tahoma at Bellarmine Prep
