Football Alberta has announced their provincial playoff schedule.

The St. Joesph Celtics will begin their provincial playoff journey on Saturday, November 13 when they head to Edmonton to take on the Austin O’Brien Crusaders.

St. Joesph will be playing in the Tier II playoffs and are currently ranked as the best team in the division. Austin O’Brien is unranked in Tier II, as they play their regular-season games in Tier I. The game will be played at the Jasper Place Bowl at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.

The announcement of the playoff schedule comes on the heals of the Celtics claiming a 58-7 victory over Sexsmith in the Peace Bowl this past Saturday.

In the regional based Tier I division, the Grande Prairie Composite High School Warriors will head to Red Deer to take on the Lindsay Thurber Raiders on November 12.
