Orrick’s regular-season finale this week in varsity 8-man football is a must-win situation for the Bearcats, according to coach Kirk Thacker.

Norborne Hardin-Central (NHC) varsity 8-man football coach Andrew Watson doesn’t expect a dramatic shift in seeding for the District 4 Tournament after this week’s games. That doesn’t mean, however, that NHC’s meeting with Northwest of Hughesville/ Otterville Friday night at Hardin-Central is insignificant.
