What to watch for in Week 3 of Cheboygan-area high school football campaign

CHEBOYGAN – One team delivered a huge statement.  A couple others had major setbacks, while another didn’t even play.  

Any way you look at it, things happened during Week 2 of the Cheboygan-area high school football season. With Week 3 approaching, it gives us a chance to examine last week and prepare for what’s ahead.

JEREMIAH HUNTLEY:‘I like challenges’: Huntley becoming a quality two-way contributor for Cheboygan football

CHEBOYGAN OBSERVATIONS:More observations from Cheboygan football’s dominating victory at Sault Ste. Marie

CHEBOYGAN (1-1)  

Last Week: The Chiefs unleashed their most dominant performance in recent years by crushing Sault Ste. Marie with a 35-12 victory. After struggling to convert offensive chances in the first half, the Chiefs showed vast improvement over the last two quarters, scoring four times and pulling away. It was a landmark triumph for Cheboygan, which snapped a nine-game losing skid to the Sault.  

This Week: There’s no doubt the Chiefs have momentum. The challenge is sustaining it, and that won’t be easy against a decent Elk Rapids squad. Though the Elks (1-1) were blown out by Boyne City last week, they still have playmakers who are capable of hurting the Chiefs. What the Chiefs will need to do is play a cleaner game, as they committed double-digit penalties last week.
