McFarland is back to the post-season for the second straight year, but in the reverse situation as a year ago. The Spartans will open as a #8 seed against top-seeded DeForest on Friday night.
Coach and McFarland Athletic Director Paul Ackley told The Big 1070 that with great challenge comes great opportunity, and that McFarland has a lot to play for on Friday night.
Ackley acknowledged that the Norskies present a great challenge, but that for his team, the ability to play together for one more week is another opportunity to grow and get better, something he has seen with his program over the course of the season.
