The Menomonie Mustangs look to improve their record to 5-4 on the year. While Chippewa Falls is looking to improve their record to 4-5 and fight their way to playoff eligibility. This game will be the 119th time this game is played. With Menomonie leading 62-48-3. The Mustangs won the battle for 10 consecutive years until last season when the Cardinals blew out the Mustangs 35-7. 

The Mustangs fought a hard battle against #2 River falls last week. But ultimately came short with the score 14-42. The Cardinals also fell short to the Hudson Raiders with the score ending 28-15. 

A couple Key Players from Chi Hi is #1 Jaylyn Smith and #7 Talen Shilts. Jaylyn Smith with 77 carries for 483 and 6 touchdowns. And Talen Shilts with 39 carries for 241 yards and 1 touchdown. For the Mustangs, #4 Luke Pember with 65 carries for 340 yards and 6 touchdowns. And #5 Renner Stoll with 23 carries for 160 yards and 5 touchdowns.

The playoff picture looks a little different for both teams. With the Chi Hi Cardinals needing to get a win to make the playoffs. And the Mustangs almost in. But a win would help their seeding. If the Mustangs lose they still have a great chance to make the playoffs but a win will only help with seeding.
