Rhinelander’s Ryley Hull (3), Myles Eagleson (0) and Judson O’Malley (12) attempt to tackle Medford’s Will Wojcik during the second quarter of a GNC football game at Mike Webster Stadium Friday, Oct. 10. The Hodags, after allowing more than 275 yards on the ground each of the last two weeks, will be tested again Friday night against a Merrill team that’s averaging more than 211 yards per game on the ground.

As such, RHS coach Aaron Kraemer said his team is essentially treating this game as a playoff contest.
