Skins headed to Playoffs

The Redskins hosted the 4-4 Bad Axe Hatchets at home last Friday night in a chilly battle that rewarded those fans who stuck it out through the weather.

The Redskins wasted no time getting on the board, with Martin Tovar coming up with the first score. The Redskins are stopped on the conversion attempt.
Bad Axe quarterback Jack Clancy scores on a short run their next trip down the field, and the PAT is good, the score is now 7-6 Bad Axe.
