Hayden This Weeks Opponent
Hayden (2-0) vs. Rossville (1-1), 7 p.m.
Last week: Hayden defeated Silver Lake (43-10), Rossville defeated Riley County (26-15)
Although stylistically on opposite ends of the spectrum, both of these teams pride themselves on physicality. The game, as usual, will be won in the trenches, but with the experience both teams have back on both lines, it'll be fun to watch.
