This Friday the football team will load the bus and head over to Forest Hills Central for a dogfight. The 2-0 Wildcats are rolling, and they’re fired up about playing their division rivals in front of a packed house again.
“I personally hate them. I dislike them, and I’m very confident that we’re going to win this Friday,” junior running back Donyea Robertson said. “Everybody doubts us because of last year, but it’s a new team, new coach, new us.”
The team looked fundamentally solid on both sides of the ball in their first two matchups, but the defense will need to prove that it’s truly as good as it seemed last week when the Wildcats shut out Wyoming and forced two interceptions.
The ball-hawking secondary will be put to the test against Central’s high-powered passing offense. The Rangers are led by quarterback Justin Osterhouse, who threw for 266 yards and three touchdowns in their 34-38 nail biter loss to Grand Blanc on Friday.
However, none of that matters to the scrappy and reimagined Northview football program. They’re more focused on the intangibles playing in their favor.
“We’re the underdogs, they don’t expect us to put up a fight,” Robertson said. “Be ready for us, we’re coming to play.”
Be sure to come out to Forest Hills Central High School on Friday, September 7 to witness this heated head to head contest.
