Last week saw Hononegah play "Rock’em Sock’em" with Guilford, in a 31-16 Indians win at Kelsey Field. This week has the challenge of playing against a Freeport Pretzels team that has weapons from sideline to sideline. If you attend the game Friday night (at the new starting time of 6:15 p.m., moved from the previous 7 p.m. kickoff), then you’re going to want to look for Freeport's No. 2 Denarius Jackson, No. 7 Dedric Macon, or  No. 24 Ryan Coon. Reviewing the season highlights so far seems to focus on those three Freeport athletes and trying to get them into space as much as possible.

Listen to the game: With Andy Gannon @AndyGannon23 and Tom Polaski on The Beat 92.3FM.
