An estimated 5,000 people watched the Northwest-Mason game Friday, writes Mike Pryson of the Jackson Citizen-Patriot.
And another big crowd is expected Oct. 10 for the Jackson High game, which will be the final home game of the season for Northwest.

Playoffs?
Although the Mounties have now lost two straight, earning a playoff bid is not impossible.
But it will probably come down to the Jackson High game on Oct. 10 at Mountie Stadium.
That's because Northwest should beat Lansing Waverly this Friday and Western in the season finale (those teams are a combined 0-10 so far this year).
In Week Eight the Mounties will face a very tough St. Johns team on the road.
So, their best shot at a sixth victory is likely going to be against Jackson High in what will be Northwest's final home game of the season.

LSJ: Mounties no easy win
In its preview of Friday's top games, the Lansing State Journal says that "Jackson Northwest's days as an easy win are over."
"The Bulldogs must be careful to avoid a letdown after last week's St. Johns win that put Mason alone in first place in the CAAC Red."

In honor of '88
The class of 1988 is holding its 20-year reunion this weekend.
Many of the proud alumni surely will be at the Mounties' (3-1) big game Friday against Mason (3-1).
In the meantime, can anyone possibly explain their senior year class float?
Pryson: Mountie Stadium 'a fun place to watch a game'
In the Jackson Citizen-Patriot's weekly blog on MLive about high school football, sports writer Mike Pryson declared that Northwest has one of the best crowds and best bands in the area.
"It's a fun place to watch a game," Pryson wrote.
Pryson said he plans to be at Northwest (3-1) on Friday for the Mounties' homecoming matchup against Mason (3-1).
The Bulldogs scored 50 points last week, making this week's game "a big test" for the Mountie defense, Pryson wrote.
My prediction is that the offense, too, will be challenged to find ways to move the ball consistently with weapons beyond star running back Trevor Boyk.
Boyk has carried the offensive load for the Mounties through the first four games, averaging 147 yards rushing on 24 carries per game.
Northwest was featured prominently in this week's Citizen-Patriot blog, including a lot of chatter about the Oct. 10 home game against Jackson High.
Pryson predicted another shootout (Jackson High won last year, 55-35), adding, "The gap between Northwest and Jackson is not that great right now."
