GRAND RAPIDS, Mich -- Jenison is at Forest Hills Central on Thursday night to in a week 1 high school football match up and it will be the game of the week on the Blitz.

The Wildcats last made the playoffs in 2003 and playing in a tough conference like the OK Black, they need every win they can get to get the magic number of 6 wins to end their post season drought.

Junior quarterback Kyle Nott returns to lead a pair of classes that won its share of games on the way up the ranks.

Forest Hills Central is coming off its beast season since 1995 but graduated a great class. The Rangers were undefeated at the junior varsity level last year and think they have another really good team on their hands.

Coverage from Forest Hills Central starts on FOX 17 News at Five and continues through the Blitz.
