Marshall’s game one of the weekend’s biggest
If you’re thirsting for games important to the playoff picture already, Marshall’s game against Columbus Bishop Hartley is for you.
Marshall stands 3-3 after forfeiting its first three games for use of an ineligible player, and Hartley, at 5-1, is the last winning team on Marshall’s schedule. That’s huge for second-level playoff points.
Marshall, though, is hanging tough. The Cougars are ranked No. 10 in the state in Division IV and are within striking distance of a playoff spot in the computer points.
Hartley coach Brad Burchfield said Monday that Marshall is “big, strong and fast” and is a significant challenge for his team. Plus, Marshall runs the unusual, extremely tight Wing-T offense that some have likened to a rugby scrum more than a running game.
Perhaps no area team this weekend has as much of a must-win game, so keep an ear our for this score.
