San Manuel Miner
San Manuel kept its football playoff hopes alive last Friday night by defeating Baboquivari, 49 – 6. The 22nd-ranked Miners need a victory this week, and likely some help, to reach the playoffs.
A win in this Friday’s regular season home finale against 10th-ranked San Tan Foothills would move the Miners up in the rankings. The top 16 teams in Division V will reach the playoffs.
The question is whether a win against the Sabercats would be enough. Teams ranked above the Miners would also have to lose in order for them to move into the top 16.
Friday’s game is also Senior Night, possibly the final time those players will play for San Manuel. A victory in their final home game could be made even more memorable if it helps clinch a playoff berth.
Friday’s game is scheduled for 6 p.m.
