Sailor Playoff
The Mapleton Sailors will play Crane in a 1A playoff game to determine who will move ahead in the race to the state championships. One obstacle could be the winter storm that is moving through the state. Santiam pass is expected to see up to 22 inches of new snow over the next several days and Willamette Pass will see up to 10 inches. The game is scheduled for tomorrow evening at 6pm. Crane is about a 7 hour drive in ideal conditions located just south east of Burns Oregon near the Idaho Border.
