High school football will be played at Northwest Missouri State's Bearcat stadium Friday night (October 9).
It will be a matchup of two Iowa schools as Bedford hosts East Union.
Northwest athletic director Andy Peterson says he received the request from Bedford's athletic director last week after they could not play on their natural grass field.

Peterson says the new turf at Bearcat Stadium that was installed last summer makes it easy to modify the playing surface for the eight-man contest.
Bedford will be staffing the game; handling admission and providing the chain crew, the scoreboard, and the public address announcing among other things.
Peterson says Northwest's admissions office will be at the game to visit with high school students and parents.
This is the second high school football game at Bearcat Stadium in as many weeks, following a junior varsity game between Worth County and Albany.
Kickoff for the Bedford-East Union game is at seven p.m. Next door at Bearcat Arena, Northwest volleyball hosts Nebraska-Kearney at six p.m.
