In week 2, they followed the impressive win up with another win against a talented Ann Arbor Huron team. The Hornets are led by <strong>CJ Carr</strong> at quarterback. Carr came up with a big touchdown pass to wide receiver <strong>Roman Laurio</strong> to give them a two-score lead late in the 4th quarter. The Monroe Trojans come into the game on a two-game winning streak. The Trojans most recently defeating Ann Arbor Skyline 57-14. The Monroe Trojans are led by <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="80528" first="Tristin" last="Panza"].</strong> Panza is a guy who makes an impact on both sides of the football. In the Ypsilanti Lincoln win, they also got key contributions from running back <strong>Tayshaun Nichols</strong>. In the game, Nichols rushed the ball 29 times for 130 yards. This has the making of a great football game. Look for a competitive hard-hitting game between these two teams Friday night. <strong>Dexter (2-1) vs Ypsilanti Lincoln (1-2) Sep. 17th</strong> The Dexter Dreadnaughts will travel to Ypsilanti Lincoln this Friday to take on a Lincoln that is looking to bounce back after a tough loss to Saline. Dexter is coming off a one-point loss to Temperance Bedford in overtime. The Dreadnaughts have a talented roster this year that features star tight end <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="30328" first="Brennan" last="Parachek"]. </strong>Dexter also has a talented running back in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="162655" first="Cole" last="Cabana"]. </strong>These guys need to continue to get the ball in the endzone in order to come out on top in this game. Dexter’s defense will need to be prepared for Ypsilanti Lincoln’s running back <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="99294" first="Jorden" last="Collier"]. </strong>He is a game-changing running back with the speed to take the ball the distance every time the football is in his hands. Lincoln will look for production in the air as well. Wide receiver <strong>David Cook </strong>should be one of the go-to guys for Lincoln. Cook has the capability to do so, he recorded 3 catches for 71 yards against Monroe in the second game. <strong>Ann Arbor Huron (2-1) vs Temperance Bedford (3-0) Sep. 17th</strong> This is a game that will feature an Ann Arbor area team but will be played just south of the Ann Arbor area. Huron will look to senior quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="93700" first="Anthony" last="Pinnace"]. </strong>Pinnace is a guy who has a lot of experience and is a playmaker with the football in his hands. Wide receiver <strong>Keon Entringer </strong>will likely be the guy Pinnace will look for in this game. Entringer has great size and athleticism at the receiver position. Bedford’s key offensive weapon is their quarterback<strong> Brendan Hammer</strong><strong>. </strong>Hammer played great football in their win against Dexter. <strong>Gabe Johnson </strong>is a key defensive player for Bedford who helped come up with the winning stop on Dexter's final two-point conversion try<a href="https://www.mlive.com/sports/ann-arbor/2021/09/scenes-from-temperance-bedfords-nail-biting-ot-win-over-dexter.html"> (mlive).</a> Stats and references to players were found on mlive.com
