A reclamation project that started in 2016 under frontman Chad Long, Fremont Ross is now in position to go where Long wanted to take the program.
The Little Giants will host TRAC heavyweight Toledo Central Catholic on Friday night with a piece of the conference championship on the line.
Fremont Ross enters the tussle at 7-1 overall and 4-1 in the TRAC, while the Irish (6-2) are the last TRAC unbeaten at 5-0 after a convincing 28-7 win over previous TRAC unbeaten Whitmer last week.
A Fremont Ross victory Friday night at home could create a three-way logjam atop the TRAC going into week 10.
