Key Matchups
Tonight’s game between Zeeland West and Muskegon pits two of the most talented teams in the area against each other in what should be a high-scoring affair. Both teams have impressive offensive and defensive lines and whoever controls the line of scrimmage should have the best chance at winning this game. Muskegon seems to have turned a corner after its narrow loss to Mona Shores in week two, while Zeeland West has yet to play in a close game.
Prediction: Muskegon 42, Zeeland West 34

Key Matchups
The best game of the week is arguably between the two 3-1 teams from the OK Blue. Both Allendale and West Catholic have faired evenly against similar opponents, further hinting that tonight’s game could be a toss-up. To put it as simple as possible, this game will come down to what feature back has the biggest game. Both Allendale’s Cole DiPiazza and West Catholic’s Tim Kloska are high usage backs who can bust out big gains on any given play.
Prediction: Allendale 35, West Catholic 28

Key Matchups
Forest Hills Eastern’s offense has been humming this season, averaging 31.5 points per game, however, it has yet faced a defense as talented as Catholic Central’s. Grant Lancaster Grant Lancaster 6'2" | Wide Receiver Forest Hills Eastern | 2021 MI is one of the top deep-threat wideouts in the area and the Hawks will need him to make several big plays if they are going to pull off the upset. In the end, I’m expecting the depth of talent the Cougars have to overpower Forest Hills Eastern.
Prediction: Catholic Central 42, Forest Hills Eastern 21
