Three Cascades Conference teams are ranked among the top 10 in their respective divisions today in the first Michigan Associated Press prep football poll of the 2021 season – and two of them play each other this week.
Addison comes in at No. 3 in Division 8 while Michigan Center is No. 4 in Division 6. Those teams bring 3-0 records into Friday’s game at Addison. Michigan Center’s defense has yet to give up a point this season.
