Gridders onward and upward

Ferris and LC football teams take their next and perhaps most difficult step in Saturday’s State 4A playoffs.

The Saxons face a team of behemoths in Graham-Kapowsin who want to pound you until faced with 8-man fronts so tight they can loft a scoring toss over the top.

The Tigers face a befuddling team in Inglemoor which runs a spread offense with Wing T principals, all the better to confuse you.
