The Milwaukee area’s top teams are distancing themselves from the pack as the playoff picture and conference races begin to narrow in Week 7 of the WIAA high school football season.

Blowouts for Catholic Memorial, Franklin, Homestead, Muskego, Slinger and Sussex Hamilton solidified their standing among our area top 10, as well as their status as conference leaders. Our lone top 10 matchup was as close as their placement in our rankings as Arrowhead vs. Mukwonago went to overtime. Here is how the Oct. 3 finals shook out this week.
