MARQUETTE- The MHSAA commented today on the location of Saturday’s Division 1 8-player semifinal game featuring Onekama and Felch North Dickinson.

The game is set to be played at Marquette High School, that’s 335 miles away from the home team and higher-ranked Onekama. North Dickinson, the away team, is only 70 miles away from the Big Reds Stadium.

According to the MHSAA, the distance discrepancy simply comes down to the lack of willing hosts. The locations for the 3 other 8-player games on Saturday are Mount Pleasant, Thirlby Field in Traverse City, and Chelsea.

All games have a kickoff time of 1 pm. The 8-player state championship games will also take place in Marquette the following week at the Superior Dome.
