The Fremont Packers will be defending their home-field for the first timethey go up against the Manistee Chippewas at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Fremont is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. The match between them and Hopkins wasn't particularly close, with Fremont falling 34-20. The Packers just can't catch a break and have now endured six losses in a row dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Manistee took their game on the road on Thursday with ease, bagging a 47-12 victory over Kalkaska. With the Chippewas ahead 34-0 at the half, the contest was all but over already.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Manistee was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 447 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 194 rushing yards in seven consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Manistee's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Landin Sowa and Braylen Zimmerman. Zimmerman's also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Fremont took a serious blow against Manistee in their previous meeting back in October of 2023, falling 40-7. Will Fremont have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other football content.
