With only two games left in the football season, Midland High will get its toughest test since the season opener -- and a crucial matchup in terms of playoff positioning -- when the ninth-ranked Chemics host fourth-ranked Bay City Western Friday at 7 p.m. at Midland Stadium. Both teams are 6-1, so a win could mean the difference between starting the playoffs on the road or at home. "Both teams are looking to try to finish the season strong," Midland coach Eric Methner said. "In terms of getting homefield in the playoffs, 7-1 is certainly a lot better than 6-2. It's a big game." Friday's game will also more than likely decide second place in the Saginaw Valley League. First-place Mount Pleasant (7-0) beat the Chemics 21-7 in the opener and defeated the Warriors 52-49 in a thrilling shootout last Friday. Mason Myers's potential game-tying 45-yard field goal attempt for BCW into the wind came up only a couple of feet short in the closing seconds.
