Congratulations!

Southern Local's football team made school history this year again. Game one was October 28 @ the Wigwam against South Central. The Indians defeated South Central with a score 65-21. They advanced to game two with St. Paul on November 4. They have played St. Paul two years straight. This meeting was the third time the two teams have played. This time, at the Wigwam, the Indians defeated St. Paul with a score 42-22. The third playoff game with Warren JFK on Saturday, November 12, ended the team's hope for a championship. The night ended with a score 0-35. They end the season with 11-2 record.

Since 2018, Coach Wright and his teams have been in the playoffs. The seniors would have been 8th graders in 2018. For them, they have played a part in making Southern's history. Southern has played game one of the playoffs on the road 2018, 2019, & 2020. They hosted their first playoff game in the Wigwam in 2021 and played their first game 2 that year. In 2022, They hosted both playoff games at the Wigwam and advanced to Game 3, the semifinals. They are the first team to make it to the Division VII Region 25 semifinals in Southern Local school history. Congratulations for the great season!
