Outlook: Win or go home won't be easy for BG as it goes on the road to face the MSL East champions on a night the Knights honor coach Brent Pearlman before he steps down after a successful 12-year tenure. "We've painted ourselves into a corner," said BG coach Jim Farrell of last week's upset loss. "The one nice thing for us is it's been a roller-coaster ride of a season anyway. This is a great opportunity for our kids to rise up to a great challenge." BG senior Mike Garrity returned after missing a month from a concussion to play RB and WR last week but will be back at QB this week. A win figures to have Prospect opening at home in the playoffs and Pearlman said Peter Bonahoom (ankle) was back at full speed in practice this week alongside QB Steve Dazzo and RB-LB Grant DePalma. "BG is very talented and it isn't like they don't play together as a team," Pearlman said. The Bison did last year in a 39-33 win that ended a four-game losing streak in a series Prospect leads 13-11.
