Division 8: Harbor Beach 31, Hudson 20
It was all Harbor Beach at the beginning of this game. The Pirates took a 21-0 lead over the Tigers with 10 minutes left. Hudson scored with a few minutes left in the half to make it 21-6, and QB Colt Perry ran the ball 52 yards for a touchdown to make it a one-score game. But from there it was all Harbor Beach, with another touchdown, a field goal, and game-sealing interception, the Pirates went on to win their first state title since 2012.
Player of the Game: 2026 TE/DE Skiler Kruse. Kruse had 60+ receiving yards, one touchdown, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in the first half alone. Oh, he also kicked a late field goal to seal the win for the Pirates. The kid really does it all.
Play of the Week
A blocked field goal by Jackson Lumen Christi set them up for the go-ahead touchdown to seal the D6 championship.
Division 4: Dearborn Divine Child 23, Hudsonville Unity Christian 22
Aiden Hutchinson’s Divine Child Falcons got the best of Isaac TeSlaa’s Unity Christian Crusaders in a very tight matchup. Both teams traded punches early on, with Divine Child taking a 15-8 lead into halftime on two touchdowns from Eastern Michigan commit Antonio Solares-Vitti. After DDC took a 23-16 lead early in the fourth quarter, UC took the ball and scored, but the 2-point conversion attempt was intercepted on a fake field goal. UC was given another shot after forcing a Divine Child fumble, but the Falcon defense held on to secure the 1-point victory.
POTG: 2026 RB/S Marcello Vitti. The Iowa Hawkeye commit had the go-ahead touchdown and two-point conversion in the fourth quarter, as well as the interception to keep it a one point lead for the Falcons late in the fourth quarter.

Rayshawn Thomas gets what is rightfully his this insane catch for Dearborn Divine Child.
Division 6: Jackson Lumen Christi 28, Kingsley 14
Herb Brogan’s Titans defended their title by scoring a lot early and keeping the ball on the ground. Lumen Christi scored twice within the first few minutes of the first quarter, including a 60-yard score by Sean Walicki. Kingsley responded before halftime, tying the game up with two long, gritty drives. But it wasn’t enough. A blocked Kingsley field goal attempt gave the Titans the momentum they needed to score two touchdowns for a 28-14 final, giving Brogan his fourth straight state championship.
POTG: 2027 WR/CB Johnny Walters. Game-winning touchdown + game-sealing interception = clutch combo.
Division 2: Orchard Lake St. Mary’s 51, Dexter 14
The Eaglets of OLSM took a 10-0 lead three minutes into the game and never looked back. The first touchdown came on a scoop and score by Daniel Taylor, and the Eaglets added on two more touchdowns, while allowing two Dexter passing touchdowns before the end of the first half.
POTG: 2028 ATH Daniel Taylor. The sophomore was all over the place for the Eaglets today, starting his day with a scoop and score to put the first touchdown on the board for OLSM, and adding a rushing touchdown late in the second quarter to go up 24-7.
