The Maize Eagle football team laid down their most significant claim to the 2022 Ark Valley Chisholm Trail football championship so far this season this past Friday night when they scored a 41-13 victory over Hutchinson.
The win by the Eagles secures them at least a share for the 2022 AVCTL 1 football title and with a victory this Friday night against Campus High School the Eagles will be the 2022 champions by themselves.
The Derby Panthers could still tie the Eagles atop the 2022 standings with one week to play, but Maize’s 52-51 two weeks ago gives the Eagles the tie-breaker edge over the Panthers. Derby is the only other AVCTL 1 team with just one league loss with one week remaining in the regular season.
