It had the makings of a trap game.
Sandwiched in between matchups between Livonia Churchill and Livonia Stevenson was a Week 5 trip to Westland John Glenn.
The Livonia Franklin football team entered the week with a 4-0 record, and coach Chris Kelbert had just been recognized as the Detroit Lions' High School Coach of the Week.
The Rockets have been the league's punching bag for a while now. It would have been easy to disregard them and get caught looking ahead to the Spartans, especially with the Livonia City Championship on the line.
And preparing for John Glenn is a lot like Army or Navy week for college football teams.
