Earlier in the season, Reedsburg lost to DeForest 28-0, but plenty has changed in the months since that first game between the two Badger North powers. Level 2 of the playoffs is Friday night at DeForest.
Reedsburg coach Brian Pottinger believes that even with that loss and a later loss to Waunakee, that those games helped give his players confidence as they get set for the rematch on Friday night.
On top of being a perennial playoff contender, the Beavers also run a triple-option flexbone offense, which is difficult to prepare for but easy for Reedsburg to execute in difficult weather conditions, which is what is expected Friday night with cold, windy, and wet conditions in the forecast.
