Barlow's girls' soccer team squeaked into the playoffs with a 3-0 win over Gresham Oct. 25. But the team is better than their 5th-place finish in the Mt. Hood Conference would indicate.

The Bruins forfeited their first four games of the season, including two wins and a tie, because of a paperwork problem.

They shut out their opponents for the remainder of the season to put themselves back in the playoff picture.

Saturday, they will be on the road against North Medford in the first round of the playoffs. You can see the full bracket for the 6A Girls on the OSAA's website.
