Cardinals ready for Wolverines in Semis

If there's anyway to guarantee momentum into the postseason, the Newark Valley Cardinals figured it out.  Entering Week 8, Newark Valley was tied with Cheanango Valley for the last playoff spot in Class C.  Win, or go home.  The Warriors got the benefit of home field advantage, but that didn't stop a relentless Cardinals attack from securing the 26-7 victory and a playoff berth.

They would have to wait a few hours before finding out who their opponent was, however.  Lansing and Waverly had both gained playoff berths, but needed the decisive Week 8 matchup to decide seeding.  Waverly won by a touchdown, setting the playoff picture for a Newark Valley/Waverly Class C Semifinal on Saturday.

Luckily, for the Cardinals, they have plenty of experience with Waverly, and feel confident heading into a week of practice in preparation for the playoffs.
