The Rugby Panthers Football team will be on the road this Saturday when they take on Oakes in first round playoff action. The Panthers are making a return trip to the playoffs after missing last year. The team's offense has played well the last three games and is hoping to pull off a first round upset.

Scott Grochow, Panthers coach:Since the third game of the season we've scored at least 34 or more points in the last 6 games of the season so our offense has been playing pretty well, our defense has had a couple little glitches now and then but they really responded and did a nice job. It's a game we're definitely looking forward to and can't wait to see what's going to happen.

Mitch Grochow, senior:I think our special teams and defense is gonna have to come out and play hard and I think our passing game has got to get going for our offense.

Eric Kuntz, junior:We just hope we can come out and execute and keep what we have been doing, keep it rolling and just hopefully we can come out with a win.
