The high school football playoffs start Thursday, October 20 in the Big Rock Football League.

The Highwood Mustangs head to Okotoks to battle the big, bad Foothills Falcons.

Mustangs Coach Brian Brandford knows that baring a miracle of biblical proportions, the Falcons are most likely going to win this one.

But he says they can live with that.

"The reality is we're looking at this game as a test of ourselves and the ability to use it as improving. Get some film on it, say here's where we need to improve for next week and that's really what this game is about.

They hit the field at 4:30 Thursday afternoon.
