Week 8 Opponent Preview: Lapeer Lightning

The Midland Chemics Varsity Football Team will be entering their week 8 matchup with the Lapeer Lightning on Friday, October 13 at Midland High School. The Chemics will enter the game with a playoff berth already in hand after winning their 6^th game of the season last week, defeating the Saginaw Trojans 23-6. The Lightning are not a team to taken lightly though, as they carry a (5-2) record in the game. Lapeer has a very strong offense that is averaging scoring just under 35 points per game. The defense is no slouch either, giving up only 20 points per game itself. This game will be hard fought with Lapeer trying to keep pace in the league as well as lock up a guaranteed playoff spot, while Midland will look to take a commanding lead in the league and improve their playoff position. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 7:00 pm.
