The following report is from staff writer Bill Stewart, from Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland.

The five Gardiner Area High School football players who were monitored for a potentially fatal skin disease made the trip to Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland Saturday and were expected to play in the Class B championship game according to principal Chad Kempton and coach Matt Brown.
"Everything is clear," Kempton said. "They are good to go."
Trainer Chris Sementelli checked every player for signs of MRSA staph, an infection that resist antiboitics, before anyone was allowed to board the bus at Gardiner Area High School this afternoon. The entire team was cleared to play.
Kempton said had any player showed signs of MRSA staff they would not have been allowed to play Saturday against defending Class B champ Mountain Valley.
