Going into playoffs is the point in the season that teams are challenged on many different levels,” said varsity football coach Kevin Stewart. “Either we rise to the challenge as a team or we get beat and our season is over. I’m looking forward to seeing our team rise to the challenges.” 

With a win last Friday, the team will go on to sectionals in Derby this week.
