The Wolverines of East Webster will put their unbeaten record on the line when they travel to Calhoun City on Friday night.

“I don’t care what their record is, they are still Calhoun City and have dominated this division,” EW head football coach Ron Price said. “Every opponent has had a difficult time scoring on them. We know we will have our hands full moving the ball on them. We have to have a great week of preparation. For the fourth straight week, we will be playing in a big game. I want the kids to enjoy that and hopefully we can go out and find a way to win.”
Last year, Calhoun City beat East Webster 35-6.
