Morris to square off with SHG in semifinals

Coming off one of the most emotional wins in the three-year tenure of Morris coach Alan Thorson, the Redskins football team will now be playing in its 12th semifinal playoff game ever.

At Washington last Saturday, the locals rallied from down 14 points in the fourth quarter to beat the Panthers by a 28-27 score. Now they will be playing Springfield Sacred Heart Griffin for the first time ever. The game will be played on Redskins Field with kickoff set for 3 p.m.

"Having a semifinal game at home is huge. Sacred Heart is a very good team, but playing here is tough for anybody. We're excited for that," Morris coach Alan Thorson said.
