The Saskatoon Hilltops battled adversity all season, and their regular-season finale was no exception, with rain, wind, and snow, as well as a lengthy delay in the second half.
“It is what it is,”
said Hilltops head coach Tom Sargeant. The team has now moved on to the Prairie Football Conference playoffs, facing the Winnipeg Rifles in the semifinal.
According to Sargeant, the question remains whether the Hilltops are ready for a long playoff run.
“We’re going to find out,”he said, following a 31-6 victory over the Calgary Colts at the Gordie Howe Sports Complex.
The conditions were challenging, with a slippery ball and turf.
