Central Section regular-season football is winding down. Who’s atop league standings?

Central Section high school football playoffs begin in two weeks, but first there’s a matter of determining league champions.

Here is a breakdown of where conference leaders stand and who they have upcoming with playoffs looming Nov. 2.

Tri-River Athletic Conference – The Bee’s top-ranked Central Grizzlies sit in a comfortable position and are eying a three-peat in the TRAC.

Central can clinch a tie for the league title with a win over visiting Clovis West at 7 p.m. Friday. The Grizzlies will finish conference against Clovis East.

County/Metro Athletic Conference – San Joaquin Memorial and Sanger are each 3-0 and will meet in the season finale at Memorial.
