Orchard View 32 Fremont 13
The Cardinals scored twice before Talen Reichert-Slater found an open Jacob Burns who took it in for a TD and after a failed conversion the score stood at 16-6. It remained that way until the 4th quarter when the visitors tacked on 2 more TD’s to put the game out of reach. The Packers managed to get back on the board late in the game with Khai Noordyk busting in from 6 yards out but by then the game was in hand for OV.

On defense Ashton Graham led in tackles with 10 while McGown and Reece Johnson each tallied a half dozen. 
Coach Trice:
“Muskegon Heights has been in a rebuilding process. We went there knowing what we had to do to stay in the win column this week and moving forward we were able to execute in every aspect we wanted in the game. With that being said, the Heights was the most fun loving, respectful bunch we have played in a long time. We knew it was their last game of the season, but they fought hard. The way they interact and show their love of the game has charged us up. They reminded all of us why we play and coach football. I tip my hat to them and their coaches.”
White Cloud (0-1, 4-2) will visit long time rival Morley Stanwood (0-2, 0-6) on Friday.

Big Rapids 37  Grant 13
An eerie fog settled over the field during the game between the Cards and the Tigers but it didn't deter the Big Rapids team who routed their hosts. By the time the Tigers got on the board via Oakley Obenauf’s run to daylight on a punt return  they had already yielded three Cardinal TDs and a safety. Down 23-6 at intermission, it didn’t get much better in the second half as Big Rapids rolled to their 5th straight win setting up a conference  showdown next week when ndefeated Tri County pays a visit.
