DELTA TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Waverly plays its last regular-season home game Friday night when Holt visits for a Capital Area Activities Conference Blue game. Kickoff is 7 p.m. at Waverly High School, 160 Snow Road, according to MaxPreps.

Waverly is 2-5 overall and 1-3 in the CAAC Blue, fifth in the division. Holt is 1-6 and 0-4, in sixth, MaxPreps shows.

The Warriors’ league win came at home Sept. 25, when they beat Lansing Everett 48-14, their highest-scoring game of the season. Their other win was the opener, 20-19 at Fowlerville on Aug. 27. Since the Everett game they have lost 44-0 at Grand Ledge and 45-12 at Okemos. Waverly has scored 116 points and allowed 239.

Holt’s only win was a 22-20 game at Swartz Creek on Sept. 3. The Rams have been held scoreless twice, 24-0 at home against East Lansing on Sept. 11 and 44-0 at DeWitt last Friday. Their most productive night came in a 56-32 loss at Grand Ledge on Sept. 25. Holt has scored 92 points and allowed 245.

The teams have three common opponents, and neither has beaten any of them. Grand Ledge beat Waverly 44-0 and Holt 56-32. DeWitt won 58-6 at Waverly and 44-0 at home against Holt. Okemos beat Waverly 45-12 and Holt 37-20.
