Lewiston visits Diller-Odell on Fri, Oct 16. Records, wildcard standing, district picture and results from NSAA data. Kickoff time TBA.
Lewiston (6-0) travels to Diller-Odell (5-1) on Friday, Oct. 16, in a Class D6 game. NSAA has not posted a kickoff time, so it is listed here as Time TBA (NSAA schedule export, retrieved Oct. 13, 2026).
In the NSAA wildcard point standings, Lewiston is No. 6 of 41 Class D6 teams with a 43.0000 average, tied (projected) with Leyton, and Diller-Odell is No. 11 with 42.1667 (NSAA wildcard points, Class D6, last updated 13 Oct 2026 5:09:02 am CDT). Both teams are inside the top 16 by point average. Seeds and the field are set by the NSAA after Week 9, so any playoff position here is a projection.
Neither team is in the top 10 of the Hurrdat Sports Class D6 coaches poll released Oct. 11, 2026 (Hurrdat Sports coaches poll, Oct. 11, 2026).
Lewiston is 3-0 in District D6-1 play and Diller-Odell is 3-0 in District D6-1 (NSAA district standings, updated Oct. 12, 2026, 10:42 p.m. CDT). Class D6 qualifies its 16 playoff teams by point average alone, so district standing does not award a playoff spot.
