A couple of things. Not sure I buying Paw Paw at number one in division 4. But at least Edwardsburg has moved up to d3 this year so maybe they will roll in the wolverine B league until they play them the last game of the season. They have lost 7 in a row to them. paw paw does have a shot at being 8-0 going into that last game of the season verses the Eddies.

I am also curious about Hamilton being ranked 3 in the same division 4 as Paw Paw. I guess maybe both teams brought a lot of players back. While Paw paw has made the playoffs in recent years Hamilton has only made it three times in the last 10 years . Hamilton is in a much tougher conference then Paw paw is. Hamilton still has to play 2-0 Byron center, 2-0 Zeeland east, 2-0 zeeland west, 2-0 GR unity Christian, and 1-1 Holland Christian.
all games they lost last season.
They do have layups verses holland and wayland. They only lost to Byron center 15-13 last season but BC was 3-6 last year and they have started 2-0. if they get to 5-4 they will make the playoffs.
