Cedar Springs will play at Grand Rapids Catholic Central on Friday night in the week three of the high school football season and it will be the game of the week on the Blitz.
This is the first OK Gold conference game for both teams, the Red Hawks (0-2) are still looking for their first points of the season after playing River Rouge and Zeeland West in the first two games.
"Right now we are just at a level where we just have to look ahead," Cedar Springs senior tight end and nose tackle Josh Kreikaard said. "We know we have a good team, a lot of young guys, we just get to the point where we have another opportunity to show who we really are."
The Cougars (2-0) have played well in wins over Port Huron, at Michigan Stadium, and Detroit Loyola, at Royal Oak Shrine.
Friday will be the first home game of the season for CC which owns a 39-game winning streak.
"It's a lot better than driving all the way across the state for the last two weeks," Cougars senior wide receiver and cornerback Billy Mikolay said. "It will definitely be fun and we are all excited for it, looking forward to the game with my team."
