MURRAY — Back when Murray defeated Adair-Casey 64-26 in late September, in the game that essentially decided the Eight-Man District 6 championship, there was a lingering feeling this rivalry wasn’t finished for the 2012 season.

“Certainly, we’d like another opportunity in the (playoff) quarterfinals and play better,” A-C coach Wade Anderson said after the Sept. 21 contest in Murray.

As it turned out, the ninth-ranked Bombers (10-1) indeed to get that opportunity Friday night, in a 7 p.m. quarterfinal matchup with No. 2 Murray (11-0) at Mustang Field. As in last year’s playoff game in Adair, the winner advances to next week’s semifinal round in the UNI-Dome at Cedar Falls.
