Video: Top 10 Games of the WeekMuskegon (Mich.) at Mona Shores (Norton Shores, Mich.)
Friday, 7 p.m. Eastern timeWhy it's big: Friday night's crosstown clash on the shores of Lake Michigan will decide the OK Black conference championship and bragging rights in the Port City for another year.
Muskegon had won six straight in the rivalry before losing to the Sailors last season. Mona Shores rode that momentum all the way to its first appearance in a state championship (where it lost to De La Salle in the Division 2 final).
Names to watch: Jordan Redmon – an undersized, 5-foot-11, 180-pound defensive lineman – made several big plays as Muskegon (6-1) crushed Reeths-Puffer (Muskegon) last week, 54-14. Redmond returned a fumble recovery 79 yards for a touchdown that broke open a 14-14 first-half tie.
A trio of Mid-American Conference-committed receivers are the top playmakers in a Mona Shores offense averaging over 43 points per game.
Hunter Broersma and
Darece Roberson are headed to Western Michigan.
Kobe Burse has pledged to play at Miami (Ohio).
Muskegon played for a 2013 state title at Ford Field, and a win over Mona Shores this week could help get the team back.
