East Kentwood is 0-8-2 against Grand Haven since April of 2018 but things could change on Thursday. The Falcons will be playing in front of their home fans against the Buccaneers at 7:00 p.m. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
It was a Battle of the Birds when East Kentwood faced off against Hudsonville on Tuesday. The Falcons and the Eagles finished up their game with a 0-0 draw. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time East Kentwood have been dealt a draw since back in March.
Meanwhile, Grand Haven waltzed into their matchup on Tuesday with seven straight wins... but they left with eight. Their defense stepped up to hand the Panthers a 1-0 shutout. Given Grand Haven's advantage in MaxPreps' Michigan soccer rankings (they are ranked 17th, while West Ottawa are ranked 123rd) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Grand Haven pushed their record up to 11-1 with the victory, which was their seventh straight at home.
