After outscoring its past three opponents by a 166-12 margin, Freeport will wrap up the regular season at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Ford City, the last unbeaten Allegheny Conference team.

"We've made some changes and put some things in," said Freeport coach Bill Dillen. "We're more comfortable with it now."

While the Yellowjackets can't grab one of the three conference playoff berths, a win could go a long way in earning the one wild-card spot.

Three teams from each of the five sections will make the playoffs; a wild-card berth to fill out the 16-team bracket will be available.

"There are three or four teams that could get it," said Dillen. "If we win, we're 6-3."

The Sabers (7-1, 7-0) blanked Deer Lakes 39-0 last week while the Yellowjackets (5-3, 4-3) dispatched Union-New Castle 46-0 after defeating West Shamokin 59-12 and Deer Lakes 61-0 the previous two weeks.

"(Ford City) is a real good running team," said Dillen. "They hit the perimeter well and run some nice play-action passing. Hopefully we can slow them down."

Brian Zimmerman passed for touchdowns to Matt Caripolti, Nate Kotecki and Josh Schrecengost while Caripolti, Kirk Naedele and Brady Sherrieb ran for scores. Chris Ittner closed out the scoring with an interception return.

The Yellowjackets defense surrendered just 99 total yards.
