The Huron Tigers will head out to square off against the Mitchell Kernels at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Huron has six straight victories, Mitchell has six straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Huron is headed into the matchup after thoroughly thrashing Aberdeen Central: they outscored them in every quarter.

The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Tigers had established a 32-point advantage.
Huron's success was spearheaded by the efforts of Anderson Porisch, who rushed for 51 yards and two touchdowns, and Landon Hulst, who gained 158 total yards and two touchdowns. Hulst's rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 108 rushing yards.
