The Eisenhower Tiger football team wrapped up the 2023 Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League II championship this past Friday night with a 38-21 victory against Arkansas City.
The victory gives the Tigers a 5-0 AVCTL II record with one AVCTL II game yet to play, which will be in the final week of the regular season against Arkansas City.
The Tigers have wrapped up the AVCTL II football title as the only other two teams with a chance to tie the Tigers in league record are Salina Central and Goddard, who both currently stand with identical 3-1 AVCTL II records, but Eisenhower already owns head-to-head victories against both Goddard and Salina Central, so if Eisenhower loses to Arkansas City in the final week of the regular season and Salina Central or Goddard close out the 2023 season with wins in their final two AVCTL II contests, Eisenhower will hold the head-to-head tiebreaker against either team.
