Dow, MHS square off on Friday at Midland Stadium

via Midland Daily News

Regardless of what's happened this season, this Friday's 42nd annual season-ending football game between Dow High and Midland High is always one that gets both teams fired up. "It's certainly a red-letter game on our schedule," said Chemics' coach Eric Methner, whose team is 7-1 overall and in the Saginaw Valley League and headed to the playoffs. "It's the city rivalry. It's a very important game every year for both teams." Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Midland Stadium, and Dow is the host team this year. The game will be aired live on WMPX AM 1490 and ESPN 100.9 FM. The Chemics lead the series 32-10, including one playoff game won by Midland. The Chargers beat the Chemics 24-0 last year for their first win in the series since 2002. As Chargers' coach Jason Watkins noted, the players on the two teams know each other pretty well.
