High school football heats up in battles of unbeatens

Two pairs of unbeaten teams meet.

Two polar opposites tangle to stay perfect.

Buffalo is 2-1.

And yes, the News-Leader Game of the Week should be very good, too.

Here are five Friday night games that have us intrigued due to the circumstances that surround them:

Fair Grove (3-0) at Springfield Catholic (2-1)

Catholic coach Steve Hancock hopes the Fightin’ Irish can be the first team to truly test Fair Grove, which has outscored opponents 174-21 through three wins. Catholic has shown a penchant for close, exciting games this season, with all three games coming down to the latter stages of the fourth quarter.
