The Okotoks Bisons find themselves in a real battle in their Heritage Junior "B" Hockey League playoff series against Coaldale.

After losing the opener 6-3 on Tuesday, the Bisons bounced back Saturday with a 5-4 win in Coaldale, but couldn't keep the momentum going as they fell 7-6 to the Copperheads in game three in the best of seven South Division semi-final series.

The Bisons will try to even the series up at two Wednesday night in Coaldale in game four.

The Strathmore Wheatland Kings on the other hand, are down to their last life against the Cochrane Generals in their semi-final series.

They lost 4-0 Friday and 9-2 Saturday and now trail three games to none.

Game four goes Monday night at 8 o'clock in Strathmore.
