MUSKEGON – Game on between Grant and Newaygo.

The neighboring towns will battle it out Friday as the greater Muskegon area’s Game of the Week for the first round of the high school football playoffs.

The vote is in and the matchup is a landslide winner of the MLive.com fan poll.

It won with more than 75 percent, drawing 1,349 of the 1,776 votes cast in the weekly poll.

The game drew a big interest in Newaygo County as the two teams did not play during the regular season because of Newaygo’s move to a new conference. Kickoff is 7 p.m. Friday at Newaygo.

Following behind were Oakridge-Buchanan (169 votes), Fruitport-Grand Rapids Christian (94), Muskegon Catholic Central-Vestaburg (70), Muskegon-Grand Rapids Kenowa Hills (69) and Shelby-Kalkaska (25).
