The 2022 Ark Valley Chisholm Trail 2 football race has come down to the final week before it officially decides who the champion will be, but even with only one week remaining there are still countless questions with no definitive answer being possible.
Valley Center is currently atop the 2022 football standings with a 4-1 AVCTL2 record, and the Hornets are the only team with just one AVCTL 2 loss. Valley Center is scheduled to play at Andover Central this coming Friday night in the regular season finale and Andover Central is one of three teams sitting just one game behind the Hornets who still have dreams of claiming the 2022 football title.
Salina Central and Goddard High Schools are the other two teams that join Andover Central tied for 2nd place at 3-2 in the AVCTL 2. Salina Central created that log jam this past Friday night when they handed Goddard a 47-42 defeat.
