HURLEY — Hurley has navigated its first season as an 8-player team without a loss through the first six games. The Northstars now need to beat the other two top teams in the Northwoods East Conference to stay undefeated entering the playoffs.
Hurley goes to Phillips in a battle of league unbeatens for a 7 p.m. Friday night matchup, followed by a home matchup against Rib Lake, which has just one league loss — to Phillips — on Oct. 18.
The Northstars are worrying about the Loggers first, a game they figured long ago could well determine the league title.
