  "account": "Bay Port, West De Pere, Notre Dame, and Coleman have earned top seeds in the WIAA football playoffs, joining Green Bay Notre Dame and Coleman in D2 and Green Bay Notre Dame in D7. The first-round games are scheduled for Friday, October 23, at 7 p.m., though this may change due to the World Series. West De Pere (9-0) and Bay Port (8-1) will likely face each other in the state championship game at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. This would be the second consecutive year that two local schools would compete in the state finals, following West De Pere's victory over Green Bay Notre Dame in D2 the previous year. The Phantoms entered the postseason riding a 23-game winning streak, despite losing their top quarterback and head coach to graduation. West De Pere is the highest-ranked team in the 32-team field, while Notre Dame aims to make its third consecutive title game appearance. Coleman will face No. 8 seed Manawa in the D7 division.",
