The 4A and 3A Week 10 football playoff pairings were released today. Big thanks to Dave Lutes, SPSL football commissioner, for completing these brackets.

When looking at the matchups, keep in mind that where the winning teams will be placed on the state bracket has not yet been released. That information should come soon from the WIAA.

It may sound strange, but the WIAA has nothing to do with the Week 10 playoffs. These games are strictly an agreement from various districts to pool their state playoff berths. The WIAA does not get involved until the first round of the state playoffs when 16 teams remain.

Here are the Week 10 games:

CLASS 4A WEEK 10 PLAYOFF MATCHUPS
Winners advance to the first round of the state playoffs

GAME 1: SPSL No. 5 (pig-tail winner) at. WesCo No. 1

GAME 2: KingCo No. 4 at WesCo No. 2

GAME 3: SPSL South No. 3 at WesCo No. 3

GAME 4: Narrows No. 4 at KingCo No. 1

GAME 5: GSHL No. 2 at KingCo No. 2
