Week 5 Northern Michigan Games to Watch

It’s Week 5 and we’ve got some great Northern Michigan football shaping up. It’s a week where we’ve got likely playoff teams fighting for league positioning, and teams trying to rebound from a disappointing first half. It’s going to get absolutely beautiful up in Northern Michigan very soon, so why not check out some High School Football? Here are 4 of the best games going on this week. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Games to Watch</strong></span> Boyne City (4-0) @ St. Francis (4-0) - Boyne has been good. Really really good. Scoring 155 points with only 25 points against this season, they’re a force in the North. They’ve got a great Junior QB in <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10114186/Jack-Neer">Jack Neer, </a>and he’s going to have to play well against a good St. Francis defense that’s only given up 41 points. On St. Francis’s side, they’re riding high coming off a 60-0 win against Glen Lake. LB<a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10185401/Joey-Donahue"> Joey Donahue</a> is going to have his hands full against a great Boyne offense, but if there’s anyone that can stop that offense it just might be Joey. Grayling (3-1) @ Kingsley (4-0) - Grayling and Kingsley are both great teams that are matched up incredibly well. Grayling has more talent than the usual Northern MI team, headlined by WR <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13335400/Dylan-Cragg">Dylan Cragg</a> and RB <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11212674/David-Millikin">[player_tooltip player_id="93777" first="David" last="Millikin"]</a>. Kingsley on the other hand is undefeated and looking incredibly hot, outscoring opponents 176-29 to begin the season. One of the keys to success has been MLB/TE <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14808562/Brett-Peterson">[player_tooltip player_id="30267" first="Brett" last="Peterson"].</a> Tawas Area (0-3) @ Cheboygan (1-3) - Neither team has come off to a good start, and both better start winning if they want to compete for the postseason. Tawas is led by RB<a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/5577196/Chad-Herrick"> Chad Herrick</a>, and he’s very capable of dominating this one. On the other end, we have Cheboygan, where I’m looking at OT <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13301358/Tommy-Jones">Tommy Jones</a> to have a solid game. Gaylord (2-2) @ Cadillac (3-1) - Gaylord travels to Cadillac in what’s going to be quite a measuring stick for both teams. Gaylord has started out ok, going 2-2 with losses against Lake Fenton, and a great Traverse City Central team. DT <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/7746186/Landon-Robbins">Landon Robbins</a> for Gaylord is going to have to have a great game against Cadillac’s veer offense, and I’m confident he can be a force down low. As for Cadillac, I don’t see them as being as great as the state championship team last season, though they’ve gotten great, balanced production from their offense. &nbsp;
