Conference Leads on the Line - Online

October 1, 2019

By John Johnson
MHSAA Director of Broadcast Properties

As the high school football season starts to see teams qualify for this year’s playoffs, a number of games with regular-season title implications highlight the fare available this week on MHSAA.tv and the NFHS Network.

Frankenmuth will attempt to qualify for the postseason and get some separation atop the Tri-Valley Conference East when the Eagles (5-0 overall, 4-0 league) host Essexville Garber (4-1, 3-1). The Oakland Activities Association Red could get a clear-cut leader or a logjam at the top when West Bloomfield (4-1, 3-0) entertains Rochester Adams (4-1, 2-1) – an Adams win could create a four-way tie in the Red with two weeks to go. To the west, Grand Rapids Catholic Central (4-1, 2-0) and Allendale (3-2, 2-0) battle for the top spot in the Ottawa-Kent Conference Blue.

These games are part of a week’s schedule with 120 varsity and 135 sub-varsity events on MHSAA.tv and the NFHS Network.  Here’s the complete list of varsity-level events to be streamed live during the coming week:
