SC at Newberry, again

The game between the Superior Central Cougars at the Newberry Indians is back on the schedule. Originally, the Cougars were going to Mid Pen to play tonight after Newberry was unable to secure an officiating crew. Further social media posts confused what school was to be held at blame for the scheduling change as SC was unable to travel on Thursday or Saturday. Newberry was able to get an official MHSAA crew for Friday, so the game reverted to the approved Great Lakes Eight East schedule.
