A Historic Blowout and a State-Record TD Catch
Welcome to our weekly roundup of notable happenings in Michigan high school football
Running Up the Score
Had to triple check my sources on this one, but the Hudson Tigers beat the Hillsdale Hornets by a whopping 78 points, finishing the game at 86-6.
Believe it or not, this only ties the most points scored by one team in a game this year, since Whittemore-Prescott’s 8-player team put up the same amount of points in week two.
Marching to Ford Field
In a state championship at Ford Field, No. 1 Cass Tech remained undefeated after a 35-19 victory over No. 8 Detroit Martin Luther King to clinch their fourth consecutive Detroit Public School Blue Division Championship.
A battle between undefeateds gave Grand Ledge their first loss of the year, when Detroit Catholic Central took down the Comets 36-14. Catholic Central remains the No. 2 team in Michigan behind Cass Tech and improves to 8-0.
There are four remaining undefeated teams in Division I: Cass Tech, Catholic Central, Hudsonville, Grand Blanc. With only one week left in the regular season, we will see who can remain undefeated and finish 9-0.
Play of the Week
Cass Tech senior Will Sykes Jr. sets a state record with a 99-yard touchdown to seal the game.
