Because of the Labor Day holiday weekend approaching, Wayland, Hopkins and Martin varsity football teams will play Thursday evening for their second outings of the season.

Perhaps most interesting is the revival of Martin’s annual “Onion Kings” contest, a tribute to the school’s nickname before it became the home of the Clippers. A pretty good outfit from Gobles will provide the competition. The Tigers are fresh from a 30-13 victory over Marcellus on opening night last Friday.

Wayland has perhaps a daunting task Thursday night while visiting Holland Christian. The Maroons ran all over crosstown rival Holland last Friday night, 58-0. The Wildcats will be aiming for season win number two after a 42-25 triumph over neighbohood rival Hopkins.

Hopkins, meanwhile, will be at Allendale to take on a team that in days gone by was a fierce rival in the O-K Silver Conference. The Falcons defeated Greenville 29-7 in their season opener while the Vikings will be looking for their first victory.
