Alma at Birch Run
Birch Run will face an Alma team that struggled last year but has a new coach and could prove to be a surprise in the opener. Birch Run hopes to make some noise in the TVC East and a non-league win in the opener would be huge. Quarterback Austin Clark returns along with his receivers and running backs. That helps plenty and could prove to be enough for the Panthers.
Prediction: Birch Run 21, Alma 15
