Highlight Zone Heading Your Way Saturday

Just a reminder….

Tune in to News Channel 8 Saturday night for one of the busiest Highlight Zone’s of the year!

Many of our area football teams have advanced to the second level of the WIAA Playoffs. Unfortunately for fans and us alike, many of these match-ups will be putting quite a few ticks on the ole’ odometer.

Central, BRF, G-E-T, Arcadia, Bangor, De Soto, Blair-Taylor, Prairie du Chien. Houston, La Crescent, and Caledonia are all alive. Which teams do you see moving on past this weekend?

We will know a lot more about the Volleyball playoffs after tonight. We have a lot of great local stories heading into the State Cross Country Meets in Wisconsin Rapids, including Blair-Taylor making their first ever trip, and Aquinas sending the Boys and Girls for the third consecutive season.

Sparta makes its first ever trip to State in Boys Soccer, but to make it to Saturday they have to beat Fox Valley Lutheran Friday. In case you are wondering it is FVL’s first trip to State as well, and they beat the two-time defending State Champs in Div. 2 to get there.

On top of all that Viterbo’s Womens Soccer team is in action in the first round of the MCC Tournament. The Wisconson Badgers football team hosts Purdue at Camp Randall. And Larry Terry’s UW-L football team is looking to rebound after two straight losses in conference play.

In short, if you can be around a TV Saturday, don’t miss News Channel 8 at 6 & 10, for one of the biggest sports days of the year!

Oh, and I heard Brett Favre returns to Lambeau Field Sunday. I’m suprised that one hasn’t been hyped at all…
