One Division II playoff berth still undecided

Seven of the eight qualifiers for the Division II state football tournament have been decided, but the final playoff berth is still up for grabs going in the final week-end of regular season Division II play.

Mt. Hope, Woonsocket, Westerly and West Warwick have clinched the four Division II-A playoff berths and Coventry, South Kingstown and Cranston East have secured three of the four Division II-B berths.

Three teams, Cumberland, Toll Gate and Lincoln, still have a chance to capture the fourth II-B berth. Cumberland and Toll Gate currently are tied for fourth with 3-3 records and Lincoln is 2-4. Cumberland plays at Lincoln Friday night and Toll Gate hosts South Kingstown at Warwick Vets also on Friday night.

First round games in the eight-team Division II playoffs will be played either Friday, Nov. 13 or Sat. Nov. 14.

Division II is the only one of the four Interscholastic League football divisions that plays an eight-team tournament. Only four teams qualify for the playoffs in Divisions I, III and IV. The semifinal round games in those divisions will play on Tuesday night, Dec.1 as will the semifinal round games in Division II.
