Carlton set to host F.W. Johnson for 5A provincial semifinal matchup
It’s do or die for the Carlton Crusaders this weekend as they prepare for their provincial semifinal matchup.
Carlton is getting set to welcome Regina’s F.W. Johnson Wildcats to Max Clunie Field on Saturday for a 1:00 p.m. kickoff.
Both the Cru and the Wildcats are undefeated on the year en route to their respective league championships, where Carlton defeated Martensville 40-23, and F.W. Johnson downed Thom Collegiate 44-3.
“It’s exciting, bit of an unknown,” said Carlton head coach Lindsay Strachan following their NSFL win last weekend. “We don’t see much out of that Regina league, so we got to kind of figure out what lies ahead. I know they’ve been putting up some lofty scores, winning pretty handily down there so I’m sure they’re a good football team.”
