Last Meeting: Saline defeated Ypsilanti 24-13 on Oct. 13, 2017.
Overall Record: Saline is 7-0 against the Ypsilanti Grizzlies (and their predecessors, the Phoenix).

Last Year: Saline went 8-2 and won the SEC with a 5-0 Record. Ypsilanti went 3-6.

Previous weeks: This was supposed to be week 4 for the Hornets. The previous games against Hudsonville, Chelsea and Pioneer will not be made up. All teams will make the playoffs.

New Arrival: With Jackson and Pinckney joining the SEC White, Ypsilanti has jumped from the White to the Red. So this game counts as Saline looks to win its seventh straight SEC Red title.

No Band: Sadly, due to concerns about social distancing, the Saline Marching Band will not perform.
