The Cardinals have ended Hayfield’s season in the last three seasons.

“We played well enough to win, but will have to be better in the championship round,” Hayfield head coach Jeremy Struck said. “Our goal is always to play our best all season to get to the finals. An opportunity to face off against the number one team in the state is what we strive for in the post season. It will be a tough match, but we are looking forward to it.”
