Round two of the MHSAA football playoffs has some intriguing matchups. 

Rockford hosts Grand Haven in Division 1.  The Rams beat the Bucs 14-0 in week five.  The loss was the Bucs only one of the season. 

The Muskegon Big Reds have knocked Lowell out of the playoffs twice in the last three seasons.   The Big Reds look like they’re hitting their stride at just the right time, but will they be able to move the ball against a solid Lowell defense? 

Also from Division 2, Caledonia travels to Portage.  The Scots went to overtime to beat Portage Northern last week. 

In Division 3, East Grand Rapids quest for a four-peat goes through Byron Center.  The Pioneers have hardly been tested this season.  One wildcard in this game, former Caledonia head coach, Tom Burrill is on the Bulldogs staff.  He is one of the few coaches in the state to have pinned multiple losses on Peter Stuursma.  The big questions for Byron Center, can they handle the speed of East GR, and can they stop Kirk Spencer from making the big play?  Nobody has been able to do that yet.

We’ve got two marquee games in Division 4.  Holland Christian travels to West Catholic.  Hamilton heads to Three Rivers.

Muskegon Heights at Morley-Stanwood and Berrien Springs vs. Kelloggsville headline Division 5. 

The game of the week in Division 8 could very well be the championship game in that division.  Muskegon CC at Climax-Scotts.  Don’t be surprised if the winner of this game goes on to win a championship.

Friday on the Frenzy we’ll have hi lites from at least 10 second round playoff games.
