CLARKSTON SPRINGFIELD CHRISTIAN 28, CORUNNA IMMANUEL CHRISTIAN 26: Although the Eagles struggled in the regular season playing against larger schools, this team has shown some spark in the postseason.

The Eagles will face Holt Capitol City Baptist at 4 p.m. Friday at Springfield Christian.
Tied at 24-24 at the end of regulation, Springfield Christian outscored the Fire 4-2 in the extra session to advance.
Heather Key led balanced effort with seven points for Springfield Christian. Lauren Key added six points and Savannah Berlinski chipped in with five points for the Eagles.

Dan from what I was told we should win the game tomorrow…our game Tuesday we played about as bad as we could. My guess is we will see Maplewood in the final.
