Mosinee and Rhinelander are an even 5-5 against one another since December of 2020, but not for long. The Mosinee Indians will take on the Rhinelander Hodags at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Mosinee knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past eight contests -- so hopefully Rhinelander likes a good challenge.
Last Friday, Mosinee really took it to Tomahawk for the full four quarters, racking up an 83-17 victory. With the Indians ahead 61-12 at the half, the matchup was all but over already.

Rhinelander pushed their record up to 16-5 with the win, which was their third straight at home.
