The Raiders who finished 7-2 overall and earned the No. 4 seed, will host McDonell Central (6-3). Other playoff games in that bracket include No. 3 Alma-Pepin (6-3) hosting Frederic (5-4) and No. 2 Shell Lake (8-1) playing Luck (6-3).

All second round games will be Oct. 31, with Level 3 games either Nov. 6 or 7 and Level 4 games Nov. 13 or 14. The Division 7 Championship game is 10 a.m. Nov. 19 at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison.

Plum City is one of four Division 7 teams that had a perfect regular season, joining Gilman, Potosi and DeSoto. Gilman and Potosi also earned a No. 1 seed, while DeSoto, who ended PC’s last year, is a No. 2 seed in the bracket Potosi is in.
