Banning in Must-Win Game Friday
Broncos need a league victory Friday night to keep playoff hopes alive in the final two weeks of the regular season.
A playoff bid may be a longshot for Banning this season, but if the Broncos want to keep their playoff hopes alive they must win in the mountains Friday night, on the road.
Banning travels to face Rim of the World in a Mountain Valley League matchup. Game time is 7 p.m.
It's a steep road to Lake Arrowhead. From the San Gorgonio Pass to Rim of the World High on State Route 18, between Rimforest and Skyforest, is more than 50 miles and many switchbacks.
