The last important game of the 2016-17 Vermont high school football regular season was Friday night and it went Bellows Falls' way.
The Terriers (8-1) pulled away from host Fair Haven (7-2) in the battle for the second seed in the Division II playoffs. The teams will meet again next weekend in Bellows Falls with a berth on the title game on the line.
Burlington and Milton also picked up Division II wins Friday night, leaving Saturday's matchup between Lyndon and Mt. Mansfield as the last regular-season game still to be played. D2 QPRs heading into that matchup are listed below.
Friday also saw the first four playoff games in divisions I and III and D1 fifth seed Middlebury was the only road team to win, nipping #4 Essex 17-14. Congratulations to the Tigers and to fellow first-round winners Hartford, Woodstock and U-32 for earning spots in the semis.
There are four more quarterfinals Saturday: Rutland at St. Johnsbury and Rice at CVU in Division I, and Poultney/MSJ at Windsor and BFA-Fairfax at Otter Valley in Division III.
