Crusaders plan to tackle well in first playoff game
The Carlton Crusaders football team headed into this season with a 17-game losing streak dating back to 2008, but have finished this regular season with an impressive 5-2 record on the year.
But for their first playoff game, they will have to face one of the two teams that have beat them this season, the St. Joseph Guardians from Saskatoon.
“We have a confident group of guys, we’ve had a lot of success this year,” said Crusaders head coach Rylan Michalchuk.
“The last time we played these guys, we know we didn’t play our best game. We have a lot of confidence and a lot of optimism to the game Friday, with really good game plans on both sides of the ball, so it will come down to who executes better and who’s willing to leave it on the field.”
