Ravenna and North Muskegon are each trying to end a conference title drought and will have a chance to do as they meet each other at the top of the West Michigan Conference's Rivers division.
The Bulldogs' last conference title came back in 2001. For the Norse, it has been since 1986 that they won a conference crown.
"Close game, we just play all four quarters, and once the clocks hit zero, hopefully we come out with a win," Ravenna junior slot receiver and cornerback Blake Homoly said about his team playing three games so far this season decided by seven points or less. "It's going to be a hard fought game, down to the last minute."
Last season Ravenna beat North Muskegon twice, 17-6 in the regular season and 7-6 in the first round of the playoffs.
"There is a lot of motivation," Norsemen senior defensive end and offensive tackle Sam Gallo said. "Since the beginning of the season that is who we have had our eye on. We've been looking forward to this since the first week of summer, our coaches have been talking it up a lot, we've been preparing for a long time."
