It's game week for high school football in the state of Michigan.  The first of nine regular season weeks before we reach Playoff Selection Sunday on October 23rd.

We had a pair of state champions in 2021 as Lansing Catholic won in Division 6, while Pewamo-Westphalia won in Division 7.  And a state runner-up in DeWitt, who barely lost to Detroit Martin Luther King last November in Division 3.

Also, Portland and Mason reached state semifinals in Divisions 5 & 3, respectively., before losing.  Mason's appearance in the semis was their first ever making it that far.

But it's time for a new season.  And hopes and dreams begin anew.
