NorthWood vs. Northridge football forecast with player interviews

NAPPANEE, Ind.-- NorthWood and Northridge are about as evenly matched as any two schools can be heading into their 7 p.m. kickoff tonight.

Over the past 10 years, the Raiders and the Panthers have played each other 12 times. The series is currently tied at six to six each before kickoff later tonight.

Out of the eight times that rain has been a factor in these 12 games, both teams have come away with four wins.

Both Northridge and NorthWood also perform well in excessive heat, tallying two wins against each other when high temperatures on gamedays in the past reach 80 degrees or above.

Tonight’s kickoff temperature has the potential to be the second warmest temperature between Northridge and NorthWood over the past 10 years with a forecasted value of 85 degrees.

The crowd tonight can get away with short sleeves and light layers at the start of the game, but an additional long-sleeved option will be ideal as temperatures crash into the low 60s by the end of the game.
