The Algoma football team looks to bounce back from its first loss of the season on Friday when they host NEW Lutheran.

In a battle of ranked teams, the Wolves fell to Valley Christian 31-14. Ethan Melotte was limited to just 12 yards through the air and had to work hard to gain 79 yards on 26 carries without a score. Jacob Blahnik rushed for 78 yards and a score, while Jack Meverden scored the other on 44 yards rushing. Brady Walker led the defense with 14 tackles and a sack.

The Blazers shut out their old co-op mates, Oneida Nation, 32-0 after falling to Sevastopol 50-18 the previous week.

Kickoff from Perry Park is set for 7 p.m.
