Sioux City moved into a tie with Cleburne for the South Division crown but own the tie-breaker head to head. KC sits one game back of both clubs and trails Cleburne in the wild card by a game as well. The T-Bones own the tie breaker with the RailRoaders but are 3-6 against Sioux City. The T-Bones simple math is that they need to keep winning and only need to take care of their own business to make it into the post season and defend their crown. In that path they would be no worse than a wild card entrant. Yet, at this point in the race with five games there are multiple playoff scenarios where the division title is still within reach. To get to that spot, KC could also use some help depending on results. They will play Texas one more time and return home to play Sioux City four more times. Currently the T-Bones own the tie breaker head to head with Cleburne but are 3-6 against Sioux City. T-Bones fans might want to dust off any Sioux Falls gear or find some Lincoln love in their heart this week as both teams could help turn the race upside down. Also looking ahead to the weekend, the longer the North Division stays close the series at Fargo for Cleburne would also be one to watch and perhaps cheer on the RedHawks this weekend and St. Paul the next two nights as they face Fargo. The T-Bones need only to be even in the standings with Cleburne to move forward to post season.
