MUSKEGON, Mich. (WZZM) - The Muskegon Big Reds are back in the Friday night spotlight on WZZM 13 this week. They're hoping the result is better than their two previous appearances.

Muskegon is 0-2 in our "13 On Your Sidelines" game of the week this season with losses to Rockford and Grand Haven. But the stakes are higher than ever this time around as a district championship will be on the line when they travel to 9-1 Greenville.

Shane Fairfield, who won his first-ever playoff game as Big Reds head coach last week against Forest Hills Central, says Greenville's dual-threat offense presents a big test for his defense. "Offensively, they run two different offenses and they run two offenses better than some teams run one. That's the scary thing. How much practice time do we emphasize on the tight (formation) and how much do we emphasize on the spread? They're very good at both."

Witnesses tell police that Harold Torrenga swerved off Lakeshore Drive Wednesday morning.  He hit construction barrels, trees and a fence before crashing into a pile of docks at the corner of Cottage Grove.  The 83-year old man was trapped inside his vehicle when it caught on fire.  That's when two good samaritans, a Muskegon Police officer and two members of the Coast Guard, came to his rescue.

Police believe Torrenga suffered a medical problem before the crash.  He was in fair condition Wednesday night at Muskegon Hospital.

The students will be monitoring the situation for years to come hoping their canoe will be found, perhaps traveling through the Great Lakes out to the sea.On Tuesday, May 25, 2010 twenty-one canoes were released in Lake Superior and then on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 twenty more were released on the south side of the Soo Locks.
