Eighteen area teams qualified for the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) football playoffs this season.  And after one week of games, ten are still alive for district titles next weekend.

Weather issues affected action all weekend long.  And there were some surprises in the first round.  East Lansing and Fowler won on the road.  Olivet survived in overtime in the rain and mud of Williamston's Larkin-Nortmann Memorial Field.  And the anticipated matchup of Portland St. Patrick and Morrice in 8-man football won't happen as the Shamrocks were beaten. However, Morrice won easily to move on.
