This game featured 5 second-half lead changes, blocked punts, and more, all in the atmosphere of a packed house. This game of course had some amazing offensive performances, so let’s take a look at some offensive standouts.
Grand Blanc
RB Elijah Jackson-Anderson Elijah Jackson-Anderson 5'9" | 180 lbs | RB Grand Blanc | 2022 State MI – The Eastern Michigan commit was a workhorse chipping away for 15 carries for 118 yards, and 3 TD’s. Elijah was able to hit the second gear in the redzone last night being an absolute difference maker running with great elusiveness and punishing power. Check out one of many of his TD runs.

QB Hunter Ames Hunter Ames 6'2" | 165 lbs | QB Grand Blanc | 2022 MI – Ames led the huddle nicely and made plays where it mattered most in the 4th quarter. Delivering more than a few great balls, Ames was able to stay patient behind a great pass-blocking offensive line. He was also able to run the ball nicely.
K Dylan Hertzberg – Kicking was a great weakness for Central and great strength Grand Blanc. Hertzberg kicked a nice 38-yard field goal along with being a great punter. Being on the sidelines, you could just tell that Grand blanc trusted their special teams and that’s thanks to this unique talent.
Forest Hills Central
WR Jacob Bonnett – Earning 7 catches for 170 yards, Bonnett was another athlete who turned it ON late in the game. Able to get nice separation and earn some extra yards, Bonnett was flying all over the field. Great standout game for Bonnett as he led his team during the back and forth 2nd half.
QB Justin Osterhouse – Filling in for starter Hunter Robinson, Osterhouse played incredibly throwing for 236 yards and 3 TDs. With great pass blocking and immense poise, Osterhouse played out of his mind and would absolutely be a starter on 90% of teams. FHC is lucky to have such an athlete. Here’s the TD that took the lead in the final minute. (SOUND ON)
