On 103.1 KFIL the #5 seeded Fillmore Central Falcons traveled to take on the #4 seeded Caledonia Warriors. It was a tough battle again that saw the Warriors get the win 3-1 over Fillmore Central.
The Falcons battled tough, but the Warriors offense was just too much to overcome. The two squads split in their meetings in the regular season, so expectations were high for a good match, and that is exactly what the audience got.
The win sent #4 Caledonia on to take on #1 seeded Mable-Canton Saturday at the Mayo Civic Center.
