This year, a new season is kicking off with two city teams battling against each other on Thursday August 28th. The Harper Creek Beavers will be hosting the Lakeview Spartans for the first time in 4 years after undergoing some stadium renovations the last time they were supposed to host. They will be looking for their 3rd win in a row against the Spartans, while Lakeview will look to end the Beavers' recent series dominance.

What Time Does Battle Creek Game Of The Week Start?

This week's game will be the only Thursday game of the season as the MHSAA has elected to have opening day on Thursday and Friday to help with referee numbers. Jacob Harrison and I (Da'Jzon Hughes) will be on the call tonight, pregame starts at 6:45 and kickoff is at 7pm at Beaver Stadium.

Which speaking of, Beaver Stadium and the rest of the outdoor athletic complex will be named after Ed Greenman, a long-time contributor to Harper Creek Community Schools and athletics. They will be making this acknowledgment before kickoff during tonight's game. Both the Beavers and the Spartans have lost significant talent on both sides of the ball, the question is, who's underclassmen will embrace the next man up mentality.
