The Grosse Pointe North Norsemen will take on the Cousino Patriots at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
After dropping their season opener at home, Cousino is headed out to face a Norsemen team ready to give their home crowd a win. Grosse Pointe North lost 31-7 to Utica on Thursday. The Norsemen were down 24-0 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Meanwhile, Cousino came up short against Stoney Creek on Thursday, falling 42-21. While losing is never fun, the Patriots can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Michigan football rankings (they are ranked 235th, while the Cougars are ranked 65th).
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Julian Hayes, who picked up 126 receiving yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those yards when he pulled down a pass and and took off for a gain of94 yards. Another signal caller making a difference was Brick Sandridge, who threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.1 yards per attempt.
Grosse Pointe North didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Cousino in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, but they still walked away with a 24-20 victory. Will Grosse Pointe North repeat their success, or does Cousino have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
