Description:

Top-ranked and unbeaten Aquinas High School’s football team, along with top-seeded Cochrane-Fountain City are the only area teams left in the playoffs.

The Blugolds (11-0) beat Osceola 49-7 at UW-La Crosse on Friday and move into the Division 4 quarterfinals — the same spot they lost a year ago. Aquinas will host No. 2-seeded Baldwin-Woodville (11-0), which was state runners-up last season.

Meanwhile, second-seeded Onalaska fell at home 24-21 to No. 6 Pewaukee in Round 2 of the Division 3 playoffs. The Hilltoppers (8-3) pulled within three after being down as many as 17 to Pewaukee (6-5).

Also in Division 3, No. 4 Logan had a third-quarter lead on top-seeded Catholic Memorial, but watched that evaporate when the Crusaders scored 24 second-half points on their way to a 31-22 win at Carroll University.

Catholic Memorial (10-1) has now won 10 straight — its only loss to an unbeaten Franklin (11-0) team that’s still alive in the Division 1 playoffs. Logan’s season ends at 7-4.

In Division 2, Central saw its quarterback Christian Rudud go down early and fell 50-24 to top-seeded River Falls (10-1). The River Hawks’ season also ended at 7-4.

In Division 4, No. 2 Little Chute took down West Salem 49-20. The Mustangs (10-1) scored 21 points in the first. The Panthers’ season ends at 8-3.

In Division 7, top-seeded Cochrane-Fountain City pushed its record to 11-0 with a 27-0 win over No. 5 Glenwood City. The Pirates now host No. 2 Boyceville (10-0).
