The past two weeks have cleared up some of the questions that were outstanding in the NUIC South, as well as where teams will fall in the potential post-season 1A rankings and brackets. However, one big question that remains unanswered is whether or not EPC will be a part of that postseason. The Catz are 4-4 losing tough match-ups to Du-Pec, West Carroll, Dakota, and Aquin.

Savanna- Our Game of the Week brings us to Savanna, Illinois where the South Division rivalry features the EPC Wildcatz visiting the West Carroll Thunder. West Carroll has started off 2019 2-0, defeating Galena in a close fought game 22-20, and Dakota 24-12. EPC is 0-2 with losses to both undefeated Le-Win and Du-Pec.
