If you're a Racine Case fan, mark Friday. The Eagles play West De Pere in the state semifinal at 7 p.m. at Bank of Sun Prairie Stadium, one win from a state championship game.
They got here on a walk-off 28-yard field goal by senior kicker Colin Gardner. Racine County Eye reported the kick came with four seconds left in a 3-3 sectional final against No. 1 seed Muskego. Case won 6-3 on Fri., Nov. 6.
