A lot has already been determined for the start of the postseason next week, but there are still several things that need to be sorted out. Here's a look at games that will, or could, have playoff implications. ## Division I - **Concord (6-2) at Exeter (6-2), Friday:** The Blue Hawks have everything wrapped up and will host the East Conference championship game next week. The Crimson Tide need a win in this game to guarantee a date with Bedford next week in the North Conference championship game. However, a loss doesn't mean Concord is out. - **Nashua South (4-4) at Bishop Guertin (3-5), Friday:** As hard as it is to believe, the winner of this game will be in the West Conference championship, and could potentially host it with a 4-5 record. - **Timberlane (3-5) at Alvirne (4-4), Friday:** A win gives Alvirne home field for the West Conference championship. A loss means the Broncos would play at Stellos Stadium next week against the winner of the previous game. - **Londonderry (7-1) at Salem (7-1), Friday:** The playoffs have already started for these two teams. The winner moves on to play Pinkerton in the South Conference championship. The loser goes home with a 7-2 record. - **Manchester Memorial (5-3) at Goffstown (4-4), Saturday:** The Crusaders need a win and need some help from Exeter, as their only way into the North Conference game is if Memorial and Concord both finish 6-3. - **Bedford at Manchester Central/Merrimack at Pinkerton:** Both Bedford and Pinkerton have clinched home field for the conference championships, and the semifinals if they advance, but a misstep by either team would mean the other gets the No. 1 overall seed. **Already in:** Bedford, Pinkerton, Portsmouth, Exeter, Alvirne. ## Division II - **Trinity (5-2) at St. Thomas (6-1), Saturday:** This game was moved to Exeter High School for a 3 p.m. kickoff, and it's real simple for the Pioneers - win and you're in the South Conference championship game, lose and leave it to the football rating. - **Milford (4-3) at Manchester West (1-6), Friday:** Milford needs a win and a Trinity loss, and wins by a combination of Lebanon, John Stark and Plymouth to get into the South Conference championship game. - **Souhegan (4-3) at Pelham (2-5), Friday:** Just like Milford, Souhegan needs a win and a Trinity loss, and wins by a combination of Sanborn, ConVal, Monadnock and Plymouth to get into the South Conference championship game. - **Kearsarge (4-3) at Laconia (4-3), Friday:** The winner plays Kennett in the North Conference championship game, the loser goes home for the season. - **Lebanon (4-3) at ConVal (1-6), Friday:** A win by Lebanon helps Milford's cause, while a win by ConVal would help Souhegan. - **John Stark (2-5) at Sanborn (4-3), Saturday:** A victory by Sanborn would give the Indians home field against Hollis Brookline, and it would help Souhegan's cause. A win by John Stark helps Milford. - **Hanover (1-6) at Plymouth (3-4), Saturday:** A victory by Hanover gives Trinity help, in case it falls to St. Thomas. - **Monadnock (2-5) at Windham (7-0), Saturday:** An upset by Monadnock would help Souhegan's cause. **Already in:** Windham, St. Thomas, Merrimack Valley, Kennett, Hollis Brookline, Sanborn. ## Division III - **Somersworth (6-1) at Bow (7-0), Saturday:** The winner gets the top seed in the South Conference, while the loser is the No. 2 seed and will host Campbell in the quarterfinals. - **Winnisquam (4-3) at Bishop Brady (4-3), Friday:** The winner gets the fourth and final playoff spot in the South Conference while the loser is done. - **Mascoma Valley (3-4) at Fall Mountain (1-6), Friday**: A win by Mascoma, and a loss by Franklin, gives it the final playoff spot in the North Conference. - **Inter-Lakes-Moultonborough (4-3) at Franklin (3-4), Saturday:** A win by Franklin would give it the No. 3 seed, while ILM would drop to fourth. A win by ILM makes it the third seed and would eliminate Franklin regardless of what Mascoma does. - **Newport (6-1) at Newfound (0-7), Saturday:** A Newport win gives it the top seed in the North Conference. - **Gilford (6-1) at Stevens (2-5), Saturday:** If Newport falls, Gilford could clinch the top seed in the North with a win. **Already in:** Bow, Somersworth, Campbell, Newport, Gilford, Inter-Lakes-Moultonborough.
