KALAMAZOO, MI -- On Friday, Hackett Catholic Central's Geovante Weston ran wild for a school-record 423 yards on 52 carries in the Irish's win at Parchment.

On Monday, Hackett and Kalamazoo Christian voters were going wild in Kalamazoo's MLive.com Game of the Week football poll.

This Friday's Christian/Hackett game surged into the lead in the Week 9 poll. By 4 p.m. Monday, the Kalamazoo Valley Association rivals had racked up 712 of 1,877 total votes (37.93 percent).

The Christian/Hackett game passed the Southwestern Athletic Conference South Division showdown between Lawton and Watervliet, which had 547 votes.

Portage Northern/Mattawan was third in the poll with 399 votes.

The poll will remain open until 6 p.m. Tuesday. You can vote every hour, and do so here:

Paw Paw/Edwardsburg, Mendon/Pewamo-Westphalia and Constantine/Battle Creek Pennfield are the other choices in Kalamazoo's Week 9 poll.

Last week, the Portage Central/Portage game edged Stevensville Lakeshore/Mattawan in one of the most spirited Game of the Week polls of the season.

The winner of the Game of the Week poll will receive top-flight coverage from the MLive Kalamazoo crew. Coverage includes a preview, live in-game chat, multiple postgame stories and features, and a photo gallery.

Upgrades in our phone apps allow you to join live chats from the field this fall, and we hope you'll share on-the-spot information from other games as well as your comments about the Game of the Week.?Here are the links to the apps: iPhone and Android.
