Southwest Michigan Game Of The Week: BC Central @ Kzoo Central

For the last few years, we have had the opportunity to bring you all the Battle Creek Game Of The Week each Friday night. This meant we would feature at least one of the 4 prominent Battle Creek High Schools; Harper Creek, Battle Creek Central, Lakeview, and Pennfield, in a football broadcast each week. This year, we are expanding to include more schools in Southwest Michigan and truly search for the area's best game.

Although there are some changes being made, some things are staying the same. What's that old saying? Don't fix what isn't broken or something like that! That's our motto, our team is staying the same and some of our matchups will be returning, including covering the biggest rivalries in the state.

We are now in week 6 of the High School football season and the playoff picture is beginning to form. Teams like Harper Creek and Kalamazoo Central are trying to wiggle their way into the playoffs while Battle Creek Central, Pennfield, and Lakeview are trying to find more wins and bright spots to hold on to and build off of.

The Bearcats have seen their fair share of struggles this season as they started the season with 2 big wins but have surrendered 3 straight losses to SMAC conference opponents in the last 3 weeks. They will be looking to get back on track against a Kalamazoo Central squad that wants another win coming off a bye week.

This week's game will be another installment in the oldest rivalry in the state of Michigan and one of the oldest in the entire country. There is no love lost between the Bearcats and Maroon Giants as the excitement for this game has been building for weeks. Each of these teams desperately want a win and wants to hold the bragging rights for the next year.

Pregame will start at 6:45 and kickoff will be at 7pm from Thomas Stadium at Kalamazoo Central High School. This week's game can be found on 102.5/104.9 The Block. The booth will consist of Jacob Harrison as play-by-play and myself, Da'Jzon Hughes aka DJ will be on color commentary. A postgame show will follow where we will give out our Lakeview Ford player of the game as well.
