In sports, certain matchups have evolved to the point where they are no longer simply “rivalries.” Lakers/Celtics, Yankees/Red Socks, Michigan/Michigan State. And Holland Christian/Zeeland West. These are the games played on a larger-than-life stage, between teams who plain don’t like each other. These are the games in which players make [...]

Maybe it is the creaky bleachers and the worn-down scoreboard. When Byron Center rolled into town to challenge the host Holland Christian Maroons in a critical [...]
