The Salina Liberty closed out the regular season with a bang on Saturday, defeating the Gillette Mustangs 43-41 at the Camplex to secure the 2-seed in this year’s CIF playoffs.
After beginning the campaign 4-2, the Liberty rattled off four consecutive wins to close out the regular season, all against members of this year’s playoff field.
Salina’s regular season comes to a close at 8-2 and is good enough to earn the Liberty a first-round bye and a home game in this year’s CIF semifinals.
The other first-round bye and 1-seed went to the Omaha Beef, who will be the only undefeated team in this year’s playoffs at 10-0.
The CIF playoffs will get underway on Saturday, June 3rd when the 3-seeded Gillette Mustangs play host to the 6-seeded Southwest Kansas Storm.
That Monday will see the other quarterfinal played in Billings as the 4-seeded Outlaws welcome in the 5-seed in Sioux City.
