Northern Michigan Games to Watch in Week 6

We’re were in week 6 of the High School Football season and we’ve got some great matchups throughout Northern MI. It’s the time of year the leaves begin to change up north, while football leagues shape out and the playoff picture starts to unfold. Here are 4 games to watch this weekend in Northern Michigan. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Games to Watch</span></strong> (4-1) Sault area @ (3-2) Grayling: Currently in 4th place in the absolutely massive Northern MI league, Sault area is looking to continue their hunt for the league title, as well as playoff seeding. The area Sault area does the very best is in the trenches, which is led by T <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14117243/John-Burke">John Bruke</a> and DT <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13224189">Adam Horrigan</a>. As for Grayling, they have the opposite strength, and that’s greatness in the secordary and the receiving core, led by WR <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13335400">Dylan Cragg</a> and CB <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12900734">Marcus Chard</a>. Sault area will be favored considering the DIII status vs Grayling’s D6 status, but don’t count Grayling out as they’re one of the best in the division. (4-1) Cadillac @ (4-1) Traverse City Central: Here’s another very intriguing matchup that’s going to play a role in the playoffs. Traverse City Central sits just about where we’d thought they’d be at this point of the season, at a comfortable 4-1 with the one loss being against and incredible DeWitt team. Of course, Central is best known for their all-star Notre Dame commit <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11169492">[player_tooltip player_id="30131" first="Joshua" last="Burnham"]</a>. Cadillac on the other end is a good veer team that made the state championship last year. <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/8507015">Collin Johnston</a> and <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10112351">Chris Reinhold Jr.</a> have been a great two-headed monster for Cadillac, but will it be enough to get past the elite Central defense? (4-1) Marquette @ (4-1) Clare: Now, Marquette is off to a familiar start winning the games they’re supposed to win, and they’re overall in a great postseason position. The connection between <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11814035">[player_tooltip player_id="99327" first="Justin" last="Jurmu"]</a> and <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13270878">Austin Ridl</a> is a lethal one that should give many teams problems. Though this could surely be a trap game for the Redmen, as Clare sits at 4-1 in winners of 4 straight blowouts. QB <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11543741">Jacob Recker</a> has been amazing, and SO DE <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14870723">Jake Punches</a> anchors the defense. (1-3) Oscoda @ (1-5) Harbor Springs: Needless to say this isn’t the start either team was looking to have. Oscoda’s only win has been against a winless Tawas team, and they’re just not playing great football in general. [player_tooltip player_id="118769" first="Kaden" last="Schirmer"] has been a nice standout being among the best interior linemen in the state, but other than that the Owls need to get better. Harbor Springs sufferes the game conclusion, they haven’t been playing good and a win for either team here is going to be huge moving forward.
