The ASAA Division II Football State Championships are in full swing, with Lathrop and North Pole being the only two Interior teams competing. However, the action doesn’t stop there for these schools as they gear up for the Alaska Flag Football State Championships this weekend. The lack of divisional classifications means that eight teams will advance to the postseason, with the first round of playoffs determining the semifinalists.
North Pole and Lathrop will face tough competition in the quarterfinals, with North Pole taking on Chugiak and Lathrop playing against Service. The semifinals and championship game will all take place at Wasilla High School, with the championship scheduled for Saturday, October 19th at 4:30 p.m.
North Pole, with a 9-1 record, will look to continue their winning streak against Chugiak, while Lathrop will aim to defeat Service and potentially set up a rematch against Wasilla. Both teams have their eyes set on making it to the championship game and potentially facing each other for the title.
The flag football state championships will also feature consolation games for teams that are eliminated, giving them a chance to play for fifth place. With intense competition and the potential for all-Interior matchups, the Alaska Flag Football State Championships are sure to be an exciting event for fans of the sport.
