Rivalry games in the Red and White Divisions and the Pack hope to sink the Pirates

Grant at Newaygo 7pm
Who will be the team to challenge Big Rapids for the title? This game might give us a few hints even if we’ve just scratched the surface of the season. They both possess good athletes. The Lions have Kerr, Reyburn and Yearsovich who can put up points and the Tigers counter with Phillips, Rider and DeLong as well as Hatch all of whom will fill it up if given the chance.
This will likely be a fast paced, high scoring game and whichever squad gets hot late will notch the win.

Morley Stanwood at White Cloud 7pm
White Cloud has a strong defense that has delivered a pair of wins but their loss to Reed City revealed some issues on the offensive end. Morley isn’t a powerhouse team but they are going to score and unless the WC shooters find the range or Coach Jones finds a hot hand they will be in trouble. 60 should do it for the Cloud, but they haven’t gotten close to that number yet.

Hart at Fremont 7pm
The Packers are Varsity young after seeing an exodus of seniors who filled the starting lineup and key bench roles. They’re going to have their struggles and really need to find a couple of shooters to step forward. Hart may be 3-1 but those wins are against teams who have had a hard time putting up points. 
Like the Packers.
