Top 5 Must-Watch Football Games
Number 5: North Muskegon vs Ravenna
North Muskegon vs Ravenna, a rivalry etched in stone throughout the years. The Bulldogs are playing well currently. They are 4-1 in the league. North Muskegon will be looking to continue their domination in conference this week. This one is definitely going to be a battle.
Number 4: Orchard View vs Hart
The bottom half of the Lakes Division vs the Top half of the rivers. This one is bound to be one heck of a matchup. Hart has been playing well, excited to see where this one goes.
Number 3: Reeths-Puffer vs Muskegon
Another rivalry game coming at you this week! The notorious Hackley stadium is the house for the Rockets/big reds game! Both teams struggling so far this season. This one is sure to be a battle.
Number 2: Mona Shores vs GR Union
Shores was able to continue their undefeated season with a win over Forest Hills Northern last week. Will GR Union be the thorn in their side that tarnishes the Sailors season? We will have to see!
Number 1: Whitehall vs Ludington
Number one and two take on eachother this week. Ludington has been on a tear lately. They beat out Montague, Manistee, Fremont and Oakridge. Whitehall will have their work cut out for them. Excited to see what Cam and Crew can do this week!
