LAST YEAR: Black Hawk was crowned the champion in Division 7 with a 22-15 victory over Edgar.
Thursday, Nov. 21
Div. 7 - Edgar (12-1) vs. Black Hawk/Warren, Ill. (13-0) - 10 a.m.
DIVISION 7 NOTES: The title game features a rematch of sorts of last year’s championship game. While it will be the first State finals appearance for the newly formed Black Hawk/Warren, Ill. co-op program, as a stand-alone program, Black Hawk won the title last season and finished runner-up in 2017. The Warriors had two other experiences prior to the co-op. They recorded a runner-up finish in Division 6 in 1998 and a Division 7 championship in 2013. The Warriors are the champions of the Six Rivers Conference this season. They reached the title game for the first time as a co-op program following a 34-7 win over Lourdes Academy at Level 4. Last year’s runner-up Edgar will play in the State title game for the 13th time, which ties for the most appearances in the championship game with Arrowhead. The Wildcats have won seven championships. They won the Division 7 crown in 2016, Division 6 championships in 2009 and 2010, Division 5 titles in 1992, 1999 and 2001; and a Division 4 gold trophy in 1979. In addition, the Wildcats have runner-up finishes in 1991, 1998, 2000, 2008 and again last season. They are the runners-up in the Marawood Conference this fall behind Division 5 qualifier Stratford. The Wildcats defeated Bangor 27-7 at Level 4 to earn the chance at their eighth title.
