Last Friday, Hillsdale humbled Rittman with a 42-7 victory. The Falcons might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by 20 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, Norwayne beat Smithville 27-14 on Friday. Given the Bobcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 154th, while the Smithies are ranked 333rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Hillsdale's win bumped their record up to 9-0. As for Norwayne, their victory bumped their record up to 8-1.

Hillsdale was dealt a bruising 49-14 defeat at the hands of Norwayne in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. Thankfully for Hillsdale, Jaxon Siegenthaler (who threw for 172 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
