Western Panthers to join Jackson Northwest in Capital Area Activities Conference
I'm admittedly a bit slow on the draw here but for those who haven't seen it, Western has been approved to join Northwest in the Capital Area Activities Conference, according to the Jackson Citizen Patriot.
Read the Cit-Pat story here.
According to the story, the Panthers become a member of the league in 2012-13.
For Northwest, the move is a bit of a twist since in 2010 the Mounties were looking to join Western in the Southern Michigan Activities Association. (read that Cit-Pat story here).
Either way, the long time rivals and bordering school districts will once again be in the same conference.

Watching the Mounties
I haven't been to a Northwest football game since I played my last contest against Williamston in 1989.
But I'm planning to end that streak Friday when I attend the season finale against Western.
I'm looking forward to watching the Mounties play, even if it has been a difficult season.
And, as I posted earlier, I'm pretty confident they'll win this one.

Here's my prediction...
The Massey computer has spoken and I think it's right that Northwest will win Friday.
Although Western has two wins, they are against opponents with a combined record of 0-16.
I do think Massey may be a little overly optimistic about the Panthers' offense.
The Jackson Citizen Patriot reported that they gained just one first down last week.
Meanwhile, we know the Mounties -- Grant Wedgwood specifically -- can run the ball.
My pick:
Northwest 36, Western 6

Massey Ratings is predicting Northwest will beat Western Friday by a score of 29-15.

Let's hope it's right this time.

Avoiding a winless season
As rough as the Mountie football program has had it over the years, the school has only had three winless seasons: 1984, 1986 and 2002.
That's according to the stats on michigan-football.com, which form the backbone of the scores on this blog.
(See The Archive here).
The Mounties have played some tough football teams this year. Four of them -- Lansing Catholic (8-0), Lansing Sexton (7-1), Mason (7-1) and St. Johns (6-2) -- are headed to the playoffs.
A fifth opponent -- Belleville -- is one win away from making the playoffs.
If the Northwest team shows up ready to play Friday, there's no reason the players can't secure a win -- and their eighth straight against Western.

Western, Northwest's season-finale opponent, is 2-6
Western lost to Ida on Friday night, 54-14, according to the Jackson Citizen Patriot.
Read the story here.
The Cit Pat reported that the Panthers only had 22 yards of total offense and one first down. Western's two scores came on kick off returns.
Western's two wins this season have come against opponents -- Erie Mason and Albion -- that have combined records of 0-16 this season.
The Mounties have one chance to record a win this year. It looks like they've got a good opportunity.
The last time Northwest lost to Western was 2002. That's also the last time the Mounties went 0-9 for a season. Western won that game 13-12.
Friday's game between Northwest and Western will be the 44th meeting between the schools. The Mounties lead the series 24-17-2.

Playing the spoiler
The Mounties have never gone undefeated but they have finished three seasons with one loss.
The last time that happened -- in 1974 -- the lone loss came to Western, 21-6.

Jackson beats Northwest, 38-20
Jackson Northwest took the opening drive 67 yards in 14 plays for a touchdown.
But after that, the ball game belonged to Jackson High, which scored the next four touchdowns.
The Vikings beat the Mounties 38-20 Friday night at Withington Stadium.
With the win, Jackson High improves to 5-3, keeping their playoff hopes alive.
The Mounties slip to 2-6.
Northwest's season finale will be at home next week against Western.
It could be a huge game for the Panthers. Western needs one more win to qualify for the playoffs and they were losing badly to Ida.

Homecoming week: Looking for a win
It's homecoming week at Jackson Northwest and the Mounties are looking for a win Friday against Lansing Waverly.
Both squads are 1-5 but, stats-wise, Northwest is playing tougher than its record shows.
Not to jinx the Mounties but they've won two straight against the Warriors. And the Massey Ratings computer is predicting a 33-25 Northwest win.
Waverly's lone win this year is a 21-6 victory over Owosso. The Mounties lost to Owosso 21-20 in Week 3.
Northwest won't have a winning season this year but a victory Friday could set them up for a strong finish.
Next week, the Mounties play at Withington Stadium against the 4-2 Jackson Vikings.
Northwest lost to the Vikings last year in a 1-point thriller.
And for the season finale, Northwest hosts the resurgent Western Panthers (5-1).
Northwest has not lost to Western, their longest-running rival, since 2002.
