West Ottawa at Caledonia

WHERE: Caledonia High School

WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday

RECORDS: West Ottawa 0-4, 0-2 OK Red; Caledonia 3-1, 1-1 OK Red

LAST WEEK: West Ottawa lost 21-7 to East Kentwood, Caledonia beat Grand Haven 36-28

LAST YEAR'S MATCHUP: Caledonia won 49-3

SERIES HISTORY: Caledonia leads 5-3

SCOUTING REPORT: The Panthers have struggled to start the seasons despite some flashes of greatness. Getting into the meat of the OK Red Conference schedule won't help things. The Panthers need to find some consistency in the run game. All-state running back Kayden Forbes has been targeted by opposing defenses and the Panthers need to find a way to get him loose.

PREDICTION: Caledonia 31, West Ottawa 20

Kelloggsville at Holland

WHERE: Hope College's Ray & Sue Smith Stadium

WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday

RECORDS: Holland 1-3, 0-1 OK Silver; Kelloggsville 0-4, 0-2 OK Silver

LAST WEEK: Holland lost 50-21 to Belding, Kelloggsville lost 35-0 to Hopkins

LAST YEAR'S MATCHUP: N/A

SERIES HISTORY: First matchup

SCOUTING REPORT: The Dutch had a tough one with first-place Belding last week, especially without starting quarterback Amari Powell. Powell is hoping to return this week and that could make for a memorable homecoming game for the Dutch, especially if the defense can step up a notch.

PREDICTION: Holland 28, Kelloggsville 14

East Grand Rapids at Holland Christian

WHERE: Holland Christian High School

WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday

RECORDS: Holland Christian 4-0, 1-0 OK Blue; East Grand Rapids 2-2, 0-1 OK Blue

LAST WEEK: Holland Christian beat Ottawa Hills 51-8,

LAST YEAR'S MATCHUP: N/A

SERIES HISTORY: First matchup

SCOUTING REPORT: The Maroons are on a roll and look to keep that going at home. The Holland Christian offense has been stellar and the defense has been a huge improvement from a year ago. But this will be the biggest test they face yet and it will come down to the defense.

PREDICTION: Holland Christian 31, East Grand Rapids 28

Wyoming at Zeeland East

WHERE: Zeeland Stadium

WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday

RECORDS: Zeeland East 2-2, 0-1 OK Green; Wyoming 1-3, 0-1 OK Green

LAST WEEK: Zeeland East lost 28-13 to Zeeland West; Wyoming lost 42-6 to South Christian

LAST YEAR'S MATCHUP: Zeeland East won 59-8

SERIES HISTORY: Zeeland East leads 4-0

SCOUTING REPORT: The Chix played extremely well for most of the Bird Bowl against Zeeland West. For as much as they lost from last year's team, the defense played great and the offense started to get rolling as the game went on. The Chix will need another big defensive performance to get back on the playoff trail.

PREDICTION: Zeeland East 27, Wyoming 12

Zeeland West at Unity Christian

WHERE: Hudsonville's Baldwin Athletic Complex

WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday

RECORDS: Zeeland West 4-0, 1-0 OK Green; Unity Christian 4-0, 1-0 OK Green

LAST WEEK: Zeeland West beat Zeeland East 28-13, Unity Christian beat Forest Hills Central 43-20

LAST YEAR'S MATCHUP: N/A

SERIES HISTORY: Zeeland West leads 15-3

SCOUTING REPORT: The Crusaders are coming off of an impressive win over defending state champion Forest Hills Central. Unity plays a similar brand of football as the Dux and that will be interesting to see who can take advantage of that knowledge. The Dux played well last week in a win in the Bird Bowl despite not having their starting quarterback Trey Sloothaak in the game. He is looking to return this week and could be the difference for the Dux in this battle of unbeatens.

PREDICTION: Zeeland West 28, Unity Christian 20

Hamilton at Forest Hills Eastern

WHERE: Forest Hills Eastern High School

WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday

RECORDS: Hamilton 3-1, 1-0 OK White; Forest Hills Eastern 3-1, 1-0 OK White

LAST WEEK: Hamilton beat Wayland 35-0, Forest Hills Eastern beat Grand Rapids Christian 51-6

LAST YEAR'S MATCHUP: N/A

SERIES HISTORY: First matchup

SCOUTING REPORT: The Hawkeyes have allowed just 34 points through four games. The sensational defense will have to continue as the schedule gets tougher in the OK White. The offense has found its rhythm and if the defense can make a couple of big plays, it could be a good week for the Hawkeyes.

PREDICTION: Hamilton 24, Forest Hills Eastern 21

Delton Kellogg at Saugatuck

WHERE: Saugatuck High School

WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday

RECORDS: Saugatuck 3-1, 1-0 SAC Valley; Delton Kellogg 2-2, 0-1 SAC Valley

LAST WEEK: Saugatuck defeated Coloma 45-22, Delton Kellogg lost 42-6 to Lawton

LAST YEAR'S MATCHUP: Saugatuck won 42-14

SERIES HISTORY: Saugatuck leads 4-3

SCOUTING REPORT: The Trailblazers have been on a tear since losing in Week 1. The offense has scored 150 points in the past three games and allowed 57. Cass Stanberry has grown into his role at quarterback and the offense is seeing new players make big plays each week.

PREDICTION: Saugatuck 35, Delton Kellogg 20

Tekonsha at Fennville

WHERE: Fennville High School

WHEN: 7 p.m.

RECORDS: Fennville 0-4, Tekonsha 0-4

SERIES HISTORY: First matchup

SCOUTING REPORT: Fennville switched to Tekonsha as an opponent after originally scheduling NorthPointe Chrisitan. Tekonsha had an open week and the Blackhawks will try to put together a strong game at home. If the defense can take a step up, it could be the first win of the season for the Blackhawks.

PREDICTION: Fennville 33, Tekonsha 22
