There is a four-way tie for first place in the OK Red and all four schools are squaring off against another first place team this week.
Hudsonville (2-0, 2-2) is at Rockford (2-0, 4-0), the schools have met six times in the playoffs over the last eight years including last season where the Rams were victorious 42-7.
"I expect them to come out harder than ever," Rockford senior running back Gabe Spees said. "They are probably out for revenge they want to knock us off, so we have to be on top of everything."
"I think about how much they want to win because we want to win just as bad if not more," Hudsonville junior center and outside linebacker Mason Dykstra said. "They are Rockford, they're our rivals."
Centreville (2-0, 3-1) and White Pigeon (2-0, 4-0) collide at the top of the Southwest 10 standings and it is the Blitz Battle.
