They can not win the Apollo Conference, but there are still 92 berths available for the IHSA Playoffs, and there are 93 teams ahead of Mattoon for those spots.
It is not as simple as Mattoon only has to jump two teams to get into the playoffs, but Sports Watch can say they have a good shot of playing in the postseason if they get their fifth win tonight.
A key win for the Green Wave was a 42 to 34 win against the Apollo Conference Champion Effingham.
Kick-off against Jerseyville is at seven.
