There was just one head-to-head match up this past week between Heart of America conference football teams, which was won by Sedgwick, which defeated Remington 42-7.
That game, however, did not play into the standings as Sedgwick has a 3-1 HOA record and stands at 5-1 overall while the two teams atop of the HOA standings, Marion and Moundridge, each won their non-conference showdowns this past week and each advanced to 6-0 on the season.
Marion and Moundridge are not scheduled to meet up on the gridiron this season and will possibly share the 2023 HOA football championship.
This week will, once again, see just one HOA battle, which will be played in Hutchinson where the Sterling Black Bears will put their 3-1 HOA record on the line against the Celtics’ 2-2 HOA mark.
