Michigan high school football: 5 games you shouldn't have missed (10/20/2023)
The regular season of Michigan high school football is coming to a close, so here are five games you shouldn't have missed in the final week.
Here are five games you shouldn't have missed:
No. 1 Belleville (8-0) vs. No. 8 Northville (8-0)
Neither team has faced a tough schedule. Belleville is 1-0 against top-100 opponents, and Northville have yet to face one. Nonetheless, the KLAA Championship is on the line, and Belleville would like to continue its winning streak.
No. 5 Lake Orion (8-0) vs. No. 6 Saline (8-0)
This is a borderline top-5 matchup between two undefeated teams. Saline has yet to face someone in the top-100, but 4-star and Notre Dame commit CJ Carr is talented enough to carry the Hornets to victory.
This season, Lake Orion has dismantled all but No. 9 West Bloomfield (6-2), who the Dragons defeated 17-13.
Gladwin (7-1) vs. Frankenmuth (7-1)
A top-10 matchup in Division 5, these two teams also met in the Division 5 title game last year. Frankenmuth has won seven games in a row and would like head into the playoffs with a win over the defending champs.
East Kentwood (3-5) vs. West Ottawa (3-5)
The Falcons and the Panthers are both on the playoff bubble, and the loser has a significant chance at missing the playoffs.
Clinton (7-1) vs. Hudson (7-1)
Clinton is a top team in Division 7, and Hudson is a top team in Division 8. Hudson recently fell to Dundee, so they'll be looking to bounce back before the playoffs.
