Most Impressive Wins of the Week
Southfield A&T 56 Cass Tech 54 – By FAR the game of the week!
Caledonia 35 Holt 0 – Caledonia is for real.
Davison 28 Clarkston 21 – Davison proved the doubters wrong and proved me right.
Brighton 35 Fordson 14 – The Bulldogs make a statement against a great program.
Grandville 49 Grand Blanc 25 – Year after year, Grandville is underrated. Grand Blanc is nowhere close to as good as last season.
Whitehall 54 Unity Chrisitan 26 – A huge win for Whitehall and a rare loss for UC. Major questions about this UC team vs last year.
Watervliet 35 Brandywine 0 – I have a good feeling about Watervliet this season
Ubly 41 Bad Axe 7 – On paper, this was a good matchup. Nope.
GR South Christian 42 GR Christian 7 – Everyone always sleeps on South Christian, but I’m still shocked by this blowout.
Lapeer 32 AA Huron 2 – Lapeer dominated a game that was supposed to be much more competitive.
Armada 28 Marine City 27 – Armada just defeated a State Runner-Up.
GR Union 59 GR Ottawa Hills 12 – Union is here. I hope they’re here to stay.
