After securing their all-important sixth win to close out the season, the eighth-seeded Coal City football team's reward is a home playoff game against ninth-seeded Wood River (East Alton) to open the Class 4A playoffs Saturday at 2 p.m.
The Oilers faced five playoff teams during the season and went 2-3 in those games. They also went just 2-2 on the road and will be making the three-and-a-half hour trek to Coaler Country.
“We've already exchanged films and they are a run-heavy team. They are going to look to establish the run early and often,” said coach Francis Loughran.
