The North Central Kansas League has come down to one final week in the 2022 football regular season with one of two options being available to name the champion :
- A)Wamego defeats Abilene in this week’s regular season finale, which gives the Red Raiders their 2nd straight NCKL football championship.
- B) Abilene upsets Wamego, handing the Red Raiders their only loss in the 2022 regular season, which will then create a 3-way tie for the championship between Wamego, Abilene and Clay Center, who handed the Cowboys their lone NCKL loss thus far this season.
