Hermantown at Grand Rapids
7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 7

Grand Rapids finds itself in the driver's seat entering the final stretch of its Northeast District Red Division schedule and looks to take another step forward when hosting reigning league champion Hermantown.

If the Thunderhawks (4-1, 3-0) get by the Hawks (4-1, 2-1), they'll have last-place Duluth Denfeld as the lone road block remaining on the path to a league title. Hermantown, however, must defeat Grand Rapids and beat Proctor (4-1, 2-1) to have a shot at a share of the crown.

This matchup decided the league championship a year ago, as the Hawks rolled past the Thunderhawks 35-8.
