Continue ReadingGrand ledge had several great football players last year in 2021. Receiver Shawn Foster (Hudl) was a guy that stood out to me. Foster is a guy that is always competing. Foster has the speed to take the football to the endzone. Grand Ledge likes to get him the ball in a variety of ways. He shows great agility and can easily make defenders miss in the open field. For Grand Ledge to put up points this season Foster will definitely need to be involved. I liked what I saw from Foster in 2021 and am very excited to see what is in store for him this year.
Grand Ledge always plays a tough schedule every year due to playing in a competitive conference. I really liked how they put several tough non-conference opponents on the schedule this year I thought it would be fun to outline a few of the tough non-league games as well as the top conference games.
Week 1 8/26: Home vs Coldwater
I am all for interesting non-league games early in the season. Both of these programs play in tough conferences and have had a lot of success in recent years. Grand Ledge won last year’s meeting 36-14.
Coldwater returns defensive end Kevin Hall (Hudl). Last season, Hall had a big sack in the game that resulted in a big loss of yardage. Hall also shows the ability to make pancake blocks on the offensive side of the ball at the center position. Hall and the Cardinals team should be hungry to get another shot at Grand Ledge. I expect a closer game in 2022 despite the game being at Grand ledge.
Week 3 9/9: Home vs Holt
Grand Ledge lost last year’s meeting to Holt by a score of 34-6. It will be interesting to see what happens this year as this will be the Comets conference opener. Holt returns one of the top quarterbacks in the conference in Seneca Moore Seneca Moore 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Holt Senior | 2023 MI (Hudl). Moore loves to throw the football deep. He connected on a deep touchdown pass last season against Grand Ledge. This year Grand Ledge will need to focus on slowing down Moore and Ram’s offense.
Week 6 9/30 Home vs DeWitt
DeWitt defeated Grand ledge pretty handly in 2021. The Grand ledge defense really struggled in this game and really wants to have a better showing this year. DeWitt will lose a lot of starters on offense but do return Bryce Kurncz Bryce Kurncz 6'1" | 165 lbs | ATH DeWitt | 2023 State MI (Hudl). Kurncz is an outstanding athlete who is a star defensive back and wide receiver. Grand ledge will need to be aware of where Kurncz is on the football field at all times.
Week 7 10/7 Home vs Lapeer
Lapeer has been a great football program for many years now. Last year they finished 7-3 with all three losses coming to tough opponents. This is another one of those great non-league matchups to watch. This one is coming later in the year when both teams will likely be battling to find their way into the playoffs. This will be a tough game for Grand Ledge but I believe they will compete.
