Only a few days old, a rivalry is already brewing in Ohio’s only 8-man football league, the Northern 8, which kicked off its first season last weekend.
The first of two conference meetings between Toledo Christian and Holgate will take place this Friday with the Tigers hosting the Eagles in Henry County.
“I know our guys will be jacked up and ready to play,” said Holgate coach Colton Wagner. “We have had this game circled since our second meeting last year was postponed and never rescheduled.
“These are two teams that really do not like each other, and I know there has been a lot of trash talk all offseason between the players leading up to this game. We need to limit mistakes and be more physical than them to be successful Friday night.”
