But 21 points in the final 12 minutes helped the Bears complete a 30-6 win over the Bees.

That’s certainly what Fairmont Senior was saying Friday night after a 30-6 victory over rival East Fairmont, the team’s final tuneup before the opening round of the state playoffs next week.

Bridgeport will likely finish third in the final SSAC rankings and host a first-round playoff game next week against No. 14 Parkersburg.

They’ve already sewn up a playoff spot and are looking to earn a high seed and home-field advantage past the first round.

A reason why it will take a hard-fought loss to a ranked team over a gimmie against a struggling program. Heck, even a reason why it doesn’t mind spending Saturdays cooped up in a school bus for hours at a time.

That’s kind of the best way to put it.” Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:34:00 +0000 http://www.timeswv.com/statenews/local_story_308033536.html http://www.timeswv.com/statenews/local_story_308033536.html Fairmont Senior’s football team might not be entering this week’s East-West Game with an undefeated mark but the Polar Bears will be the No. 4 team in the state.The Bears’ 35-7 loss to still-undefeated Bridgeport only knocked FSHS down two spots in this week’s West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission’s computer playoff ratings.
