With one week remaining in football’s regular season, here are the postseason scenarios in South Sound leagues.

NARROWS LEAGUE 4A

Postseason berths: Four

Clinched: Bellarmine Prep, Olympia and Gig Harbor

Lowdown: Bellarmine Prep, Olympia and Gig Harbor are the 1-2-3 seeds. The fourth seed will be the winner of this week’s South Kitsap-Central Kitsap game.

NARROWS 3A

Postseason berths: Three

Clinched: Capital, Lincoln and Timberline

Lowdown: If Capital beats Lincoln this week, the seeding goes Capital, Timberline and Lincoln. If Lincoln beats Capital and Timberline beats Foss, Lincoln, Capital and Timberline will tie for first among. Point differential will be the tiebreaker.

EVERGREEN CONFERENCE

Postseason berths: Three

Lowdown: Tumwater, the Evergreen Conference champion, has secured the No. 1 seed and state playoff berth. The Thunderbirds will not play in Week 10. The league’s second seed to the Week 10 state play-in round will go to the winner of this week’s W.F. West-North Thurston game, while the loser gets the third seed.

1A SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON

Postseason berths: Eight to crossover playoffs, four to state tournament.

Clinched: Montesano, Tenino and Hoquiam (Evergreen Division); Kalama, Toledo and La Center (Trico Division).

Lowdown: The top four finishers in the Evergreen and Trico Divisions will play for the four seeds to the 1A playoffs. The winner of the Trico 1/Evergreen 4 game will be the league’s overall No. 1 seed to the state playoffs.

Montesano has clinched the 1A SWW Evergreen title, but Kalama has to defeat La Center to do the same for the Trico title. If La Center and Toledo win, there will be a three-way tie for the division crown. … Tenino is at home against Hoquiam, with the winner claiming the Evergreen No. 2 seed, and a home crossover playoff game. … Elma will sew up the Evergreen No. 4 seed with a victory at Forks. A loss would put the Eagles in a tiebreaker situation with Forks and possibly Rainier, which needs a win at Rochester to stay alive.
