Week 1: 08/25 @New Lothrop
Lumen Christi started off the year with a 27-14 victory over New Lothrop last season. Lumen running back Derrick Walker came up big in the game, Scoring a 25-yard rushing touchdown to help the Titans take control of the game. Ralph Golden also recorded a big touchdown reception in the game. Lumen would love for these guys to come up big once again in 2022 as the Titans travel to New Lothrop.
Week 2: 9/2 vs Traverse City St Francis
This has the makings to be one of the top games in the state for week 2. St Francis rolled every opponent in the regular season last year, coming up just short of a state title. I believe this will be a game decided in the 4th quarter. This could be a game where you see what team is in better shape.
Week 3: 9/9 vs Hastings
Hastings had a great team last season. They lost 2 games total, with one of their losses coming to Lumen Christi in the regular season. Hastings loses several key pieces from last year’s team and will have to travel to Lumen Christi in 2022. I like Lumen’s chance in this game.
Week 4: 9/16 @Parma Western
Lumen Christi had a strong showing in their 33-0 victroy of Western last season. I think next years contest will be a little closer as Western returns several key players in Caden Oliver and Landon Heavy. Oliver and Heavy are playmakers offensively. For Western to come out victorious you have to believe that both of these guys will have big games.
Week 5: 9/23 @Coldwater
Coldwater has been very competitive with Lumen Christi since they both joined the interstate 8 conference. I expect Coldwater to compete with them once again in 2022.
Week 6: 9/30 vs Northwest
Lumen Christi has had no trouble defeating Northwest in recent years. Lumen should be heavy favorites this year.
Week 7: 10/7 @Marshall
Lumen defeated Marshall 27-20 last year. Marshall loses a lot of experience on the offensive side of the ball. On the defensive side, they do return linebacker Hoogan McCleary. McCleary had multiple tackles last year against Lumen Christ. He also forced a fumble in the game. Lumen will need to be aware of where McLeary is on the field at all times.
Week 8: 10/14 @Battle Creek Pennfield
Pennfield has had a tough time competing with Lumen Christi in recent years. They do get the Titans at home in 2022 and will have their sights set on getting rid of their frustration from past years.
Week 9: 10/21 vs Harper Creek
Last year Harper Creek stunned Lumen Christi in a 33-14 score in favor of Harper Creek. Nick Martinez is a key returning player for Harper Creek. He is a tough, hard hitting linebacker who is a difference maker. Lumen will need to figure out how to slow down Martinez in order to have success offensively.
