Wait! Football on Friday the 13th?

Where are all the black cats?

Now, to the BONUS ROUND!

Trivia question: Why is the second round scheduled for play on a Thursday night?

Answer (Multiple choice): 1. Because it won't interfere with any fish fries. 2. Because bus drivers are taking Fridays off. 3. Because players will be donning blaze orange on Friday and only Reedsville and Oconto Falls would like that!
