WIAA football pairings delayed

In a press release sent out late Friday, the WIAA announced a litigation suit was filed against them, which will slow the process of determining the postseason pairings. The full brackets, along with the 224 teams in the field, will be announced Monday by 5 p.m., instead of the initial timeframe of noon today.
