Medical Lake, Freeman clash Friday with home field on line

How much is riding on the outcome of Friday’s final regular season home football game at Medical Lake with Freeman?

For one it’s the difference between burning a lot of diesel fuel the following Friday.

But the best reason is the winner of the 7 p.m. Holliday Field game holds onto home field for a playoff game against an as yet unknown Caribou Trail League team. The CTL, like the Northeast A League, closes out the regular season Friday. Cascade of Leavenworth (5-1, 5-2) and Quincy (5-1, 5-3) are the probable other teams in the postseason.
