AUBURNDALE – The Auburndale football team needed a victory Friday night at home against Chequamegon to keep its WIAA playoff hopes alive.
The Apaches got the win they needed in big fashion.
Auburndale blanked the Screaming Eagles 47-0 at Auburndale High School to wrap up its Marawood Conference season at 3-3 and to improve to 3-5 overall. Chequamegon drops to 1-6 and 0-5 in the conference.
With the victory, Auburndale becomes playoff eligible, finishing its conference season with a .500 record. Although not guaranteed a WIAA postseason spot, it is rare for teams with .500 conference records to not make it to the playoffs.
Auburndale will finish its regular-season schedule with a nonconference game at Whitehall on Oct. 12. The WIAA announces its playoff berths following the games next Friday, and will announce the seedings and postseason brackets on Oct. 13.
