There's always a week during high school football season when league championship races begin to become clearer.
Week 4 seems a little early for that most years. But several conference title scenarios may have begun to unfold with the results of this weekend's games.
Of course we have several more weeks to go; we haven't reached midseason yet. But read on for more on how many matchups from Week 4 may end up being the deciding ones when this regular season is complete.
Bay & Thumb
HEADLINER Imlay City 17, North Branch 14 Imlay City sits atop the Blue Water Area Conference with Almont and Macomb Lutheran North, which are all 3-0 in league play. The Spartans (4-0) won only three games total last season and a combined 11 since their last four-win season in 2020. Click for more from the Flint Journal.
Watch list Saginaw Valley Lutheran 31, Saginaw Nouvel Catholic Central 28 The Chargers (4-0) have gone from a winless 2021 and a one-victory 2022 to a perfect regular season a year ago and an equally impressive start this fall.
On the move Linden 49, Holly 35 The Week 7 matchup between Linden and Fenton is lining up as the potential Flint Metro League Stripes decider as the Eagles (4-0) sent Holly (3-1) a game back of the leaders. Croswell-Lexington 20, Richmond 14 The Pioneers (1-3) opened against teams that are a combined 11-1 but started making their move by avenging last season’s 18-point loss to Richmond (0-4), which has three defeats by seven points or fewer. Saginaw Swan Valley 15, Whitehall 14 A late safety kept Swan Valley (4-0) undefeated and among the highest-ranking teams in Division 5 playoff points as we approach midseason.
Greater Detroit
HEADLINER Romeo 36, Macomb Dakota 26 This matchup – and a similar result – ended up deciding the Macomb Area Conference Red title in Romeo’s favor last season, and the Bulldogs (4-0) are hoping for a similar bump as they’ll carry the momentum into this week’s matchup with league co-leader Grosse Pointe South. Dakota (2-2) took an early 14-0 lead before Romeo rallied the lockdown defense that has otherwise given up only 17 points this season. Click for more from the Macomb Daily.
Watch list Detroit Denby 12, Detroit Cody 6 Two games into the league schedule, Denby (3-1) is the only team undefeated in Detroit Public School League Gold play as it pursues a fourth-straight title. Circle the Week 7 home game against Detroit Central as the big one.
On the move Dearborn Fordson 24, Dearborn 17 The Tractors (3-1) bounced back from a Week 3 loss to Belleville to down the rival Pioneers and have now seen all four of their games this season decided by seven points or fewer. Redford Thurston 47, Redford Union 6 These two had shared the Western Wayne Athletic Conference championship a year ago, and Thurston took a big step toward making it a one-team title this fall, with the Week 6 matchup against Garden City a potential showdown. Clarkston 45, Rochester Adams 0 The Wolves (4-0) are riding a two-game shutout streak and opened the Oakland Activities Association Red schedule in a big way, but Adams (2-2) also lost to Clarkston last season and still went on to reach the Division 1 Semifinals.
Mid-Michigan
HEADLINER Leslie 34, Michigan Center 32 Leslie (3-1) sits atop the Cascades Conference North thanks to the game-winning touchdown pass with nine seconds to play. A 36-32 loss to Michigan Center (2-2) in Week 5 last season stopped the Blackhawks’ season-opening winning streak, and they went 1-5 the rest of the way, but this time Leslie will look to extend their early-season success against winless Grass Lake this week before a big Week 6 matchup against Manchester. Click for more from WLNS.
Watch list Saranac 21, Laingsburg 0 The Red Hawks are 4-0 for the first time since 2011 and haven’t allowed a point since Week 2 – and only 20 total this fall. Against Fowler this week, Saranac will have its first chance to avenge a 2025 defeat.
On the move Beal City 35, McBain 16 If recent history holds, this could end up deciding the Highland Conference title for the Aggies (4-0), although Evart has re-entered the conversation and hosts Beal City in Week 7. Hartland 36, Brighton 21 The Eagles (3-1) defeated Brighton for the first time since 2015 to become Howell’s primary challenger in the Kensington Lakes Activities Association Gold; they face off in two weeks. Okemos 35, Lansing Everett 20 The Wolves bounced back from a Week 3 loss to Grand Ledge to get to 3-1, that third victory marking the team’s most since 2018 and after winning a combined five games over the last seven seasons. Okemos’ next three opponents are a combined 3-9.
Northern Lower Peninsula
HEADLINER Traverse City St. Francis 39, Maple City Glen Lake 20 The Gladiators’ first-half schedule has been one of the state’s toughest, and the second half may not get much easier – which made this victory especially important, even as the team is stacking up playoff bonus points for taking on such tough competition. Glen Lake (2-2) should continue to contend in the Northern Michigan Football Conference, while St. Francis (2-2) has Pontiac Notre Dame Prep and Grand Rapids West Catholic among others over the next five weeks. Click for more from the Traverse City Record-Eagle.
Watch list Petoskey 34, Escanaba 0 The Big North Conference is looking more unpredictable by the week, and the Northmen (3-1) find themselves tied with Marquette atop the early standings after finishing fourth a year ago.
On the move Frankfort 44, Johannesburg-Lewiston 16 Six of nine teams in the NMFC are 2-2 are better, including both of these, and matchups like this likely will help determine who qualifies for the playoffs. Harbor Springs 34, Tawas 6 The Rams (3-1) are another of those NMFC teams in the early playoff hunt as they pursue a first postseason appearance this decade. Ogemaw Heights 35, Midland Bullock Creek 0 The Falcons (4-0) built on a steady start defensively this season with their first shutout and did the work on offense as well after Bullock Creek (2-2) entered coming off two shutout wins.
Southeast & Border
HEADLINER Adrian Madison 21, Hudson 12 Madison trailed 12-7 at halftime but came back to defeat last season’s Division 8 runner-up Tigers for the first time. The pair has been in the Lenawee County Athletic Association together the last three seasons and Hudson (3-1) had scored at least 50 points in all three of those LCAA meetings including during a 56-7 win over the Trojans (4-0) a year ago. Click for more from the Adrian Daily Telegram.
Watch list Monroe Jefferson 36, Riverview 24 These two are among five teams at 2-1 in the Huron League race with the midpoint coming up this week, and Jefferson (4-0 overall) leads with Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central at 3-0 in Huron play. Riverview (3-1) shared last year’s league title with both and will be hoping for a few slip-ups.
On the move Chelsea 63, Tecumseh 6 The Bulldogs (4-0) stand alone atop the Southeastern Conference White standings after their highest-scoring performance yet while also holding down a Tecumseh offense that reached 40 points every game of a 3-0 start. Jackson Lumen Christi 40, Ann Arbor Father Gabriel Richard 10 Every win is important in the Catholic High School League AA this season and especially as Lumen Christi (4-0) works to keep pace with Dearborn Divine Child. Brooklyn Columba Central 31, Jonesville 14 Jonesville had won all three meetings since these two joined the same Cascades Conference division in 2023, and the timing couldn’t have been better this time for Columbia Central which will take some added energy into this week’s key matchup at Hanover-Horton.
Southwest Corridor
HEADLINER Marshall 28, Battle Creek Harper Creek 26 A dramatic fourth quarter that included a long Marshall scoring drive and 2-point conversion stop put the Redhawks (4-0) at the top of the Interstate 8 Athletic Conference standings and ended a run of three straight losses to the Beavers (3-1) – who have won the last two league titles. Click for more from the Battle Creek Enquirer.
Watch list Constantine 41, Schoolcraft 21 Just as we were anticipating a Week 6 Schoolcraft/Kalamazoo United matchup for first in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, the Falcons swooped in and changed things up, with United now alone in first place and Constantine and Schoolcraft both just a game behind at 3-1.
On the move Berrien Springs 30, Buchanan 20 The Shamrocks (4-0) no doubt were waiting for this Lakeland Athletic Conference rematch after losing last season to the Bucks and ending up as part of a three-team title share. Edwardsburg 21, Paw Paw 14 The Eddies (4-0) broke a three-game losing skid against Paw Paw (3-1) and in doing so whittled the leaders in the Wolverine Conference down to only themselves and Vicksburg, their Week 8 opponent. Union City 22, Quincy 18 The Chargers (4-0) are undefeated through the first half of their Big 8 Conference schedule after claiming their closest league win since 2022 and handing Quincy (3-1) its first defeat.
Upper Peninsula
HEADLINER Menominee 22, Calumet 8 The Maroons (4-0) have run their winning streak to 18, but with this victory their second-closest during the last two regular seasons – ranking just behind the 10-point victory over the Copper Kings from a year ago. The victory kept Menominee atop the Division 7 playoff-point rankings and sent Calumet (3-1) from No. 4 to No. 14 in Division 6. Click for more from the Marinette/Menominee Eagle Herald.
Watch list Marquette 33, Cadillac 27 After opening this season with a pair of losses to Upper Peninsula rivals, Marquette has added a pair of victories to begin Big North Conference play after finishing third in the league a year ago.
On the move Kingsford 21, Negaunee 16 This one always seems to have league title implications, and the Flivvers (4-0) kept themselves among the undefeated in the Western Peninsula Athletic Conference Copper. Iron Mountain 42, L’Anse 22 After a pair of one-score losses heading into this matchup, Iron Mountain (2-2) ran its winning streak over L’Anse (2-2) to six, although they meet again Week 7. Ishpeming Westwood 38, Houghton 26 The Patriots (1-3) got on the board after opening this fall with losses to three teams that are currently a combined 11-1.
West Michigan
HEADLINER Grand Rapids South Christian 34, Hudsonville Unity Christian 33 Unity led 14-0 early and by as many as 20 before Austin Burgess scored the go-ahead touchdown on fourth down with 1:34 to play and Brody Shilts iced the win for South Christian (3-1) with an interception in the end zone. Unity (2-2) had won their last two meetings by 28 and 29 points. Click for more from WOOD TV.
1-800-CALL-SAM PLAY OF THE WEEK NOMINEE
ONE LAST CHANCE… DENIED. ❌
Brody Shilts picks off Unity Christian’s final end-zone attempt to slam the door and seal the win for South Christian! 🔒🏈

Watch list Hamilton 28, Spring Lake 7 The schedule won’t get easier for the Hawkeyes (3-1), but they’ve already improved substantially on last year’s 2-7 finish, especially considering their first three opponents are a combined 11-5.
On the move Big Rapids 27, Reed City 7 This matchup decided the last two Central State Activities Association Red championships, and the Cardinals (2-2) have an important edge again as they prepare to play current co-leader Remus Chippewa Hills this week. Grand Rapids West Catholic 42, Ada Forest Hills Eastern 34 West Catholic (3-1) delivered Forest Hills Eastern’s first defeat in the matchup that might end up deciding the Ottawa-Kent Conference White title. Middleville Thornapple Kellogg 26, Holland Christian 7 TK also has some major opponents ahead, but sits 4-0 for the first time since 2018 and delivered Hamilton’s lone loss and Hastings’ first this season.
8-Player
HEADLINER Colon 32, Climax-Scotts 8 Colon coach Robbie Hattan previously led the Magi to the Division 1 championship in 2019 and has the team rumbling again in his return as it downed a Climax-Scotts team that had averaged 31 points per game during its 3-0 start and won last year’s meeting 77-33. Colon has another big one this week against undefeated Mendon. Click for more from WTHD.
Watch list Dansville 38, Morrice 25 The Aggies (4-0) are playing their first season of 8-player after winning one game total over their last three 11-player seasons. The switch suits them, as they’ve claimed all of their games this fall by at least 12 points.
On the move Ishpeming 38, Crystal Falls Forest Park 22 It’s a good time to say Ishpeming is all the way back from last season’s uncharacteristic down year as the Hematites (3-1) are now the only contender to defeat traditional powers Forest Park (3-1) and Powers North Central this season. Mendon 50, Mio 34 The Hornets (4-0) won this matchup of unbeatens by giving up their season high but also topping 45 points for the fourth straight week. Lake Linden-Hubbell 60, Norway 32 The Lakes already had a win over Ishpeming and this was another massive achievement as Norway’s only defeat over the last two years was during last season’s Division 1 Semifinals.

1st & Goal: 2025 Week 5 Review

September 29, 2025
Some weekends, it's easy to identify the game or few across the state that everyone will be talking about Monday morning.
Some weekends, we get to Friday night and still don't have one that necessarily sticks out – and then several emerge with an argument for being considered the most notable matchup.
Week 5 this season definitely resembled the latter. And often, those weekends are the most fun from a spectator's point of view. Of our "headliner" games below, six were decided by seven points or fewer and could end up deciding league championships.
And as always, there was much more to tell.
Bay & Thumb
HEADLINER Port Huron Northern 21, Port Huron 7 Northern (4-1) took a 7-0 lead into halftime but pulled away during the second and secured not only this win but first place alone in the Macomb Area Conference Blue with a chance to clinch a share of the league title this week at Fraser. Port Huron (3-2) is one of three teams a game back and hoping for help to get back into the championship mix. Click for more from the Port Huron Times Herald.
Watch list Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port Laker 13, Central Montcalm 0 There were a handful of matchups across the state featuring undefeated teams facing off, and Laker won this one with its third shutout of the season, and against a Hornets team (4-1) that entered the weekend averaging 42 points per game.
On the move Grand Blanc 41, Lansing Everett 6 This also was a matchup of undefeated teams, with the Bobcats moving to 5-0 for the first time since 2021. Goodrich 65, Clio 14 The Martians moved to 5-0 and a win away from potentially clinching the Flint Metro League Stars title while sending Clio (4-1) into a tie for second with two others. Montrose 14, Ovid-Elsie 10 The Rams (5-0) avenged last season’s 42-7 loss to the Marauders (3-2) to move into first place alone in the Mid-Michigan Activities Conference.
Greater Detroit
HEADLINER Dearborn Divine Child 17, Jackson Lumen Christi 13 Divine Child (5-0) gave up its first points this season, but again scored more to continue its best start since 2017. The Falcons opened Catholic High School League AA play by avenging last season’s 35-0 loss to the reigning champion Titans (2-3). Click for more from the Detroit News.
Watch list South Lyon 24, Walled Lake Western 21 The Lions (5-0) took their resurgence this season up a level with their first win over reigning Lakes Valley Conference champion Western (3-2) since 2021.
On the move Clarkston 21, Rochester Adams 7 The Wolves (4-1) are tied for first with West Bloomfield halfway through the Oakland Activities Association Red slate after avenging regular-season and playoff losses last season to Adams (3-2). Farmington 42, Birmingham Seaholm 19 The Falcons (4-1) can clinch a share of the OAA Blue title this week after avenging last season’s loss to the Maples (4-1). Redford Thurston 12, Redford Union 6 Thurston put an end to Union’s 35-game winning streak in the Western Wayne Athletic Conference and after having been shut out by the rival Panthers the last three seasons by a combined score of 63-0. Both are 3-2 overall but among four teams now tied for first in the league. Melvindale Academy for Business & Tech 32, Detroit Community 6 ABT (5-0) won a matchup of undefeated teams to move into first alone in the Charter School Conference Silver.
Mid-Michigan
HEADLINER Brighton 21, Northville 14 Brighton (4-1) sits in the top spot alone in the Kensington Lakes Activities Association West thanks to turning away another tough challenge from Northville (4-1) after also emerging with a one-point win in the teams’ 2024 meeting. Brighton also has handed a first league loss to Hartland, with Week 8 opponent Howell the third team tied for second place. Click for more from the Livingston Daily Press & Argus.
Watch list Pewamo-Westphalia 49, Bark River-Harris 0 A potential open date for both was salvaged with a meeting in Gaylord instead, and the Pirates (5-0) added one of their most impressive victories with a third shutout this fall to go with 12 points surrendered overall. The loss was Bark-River Harris’ first.
On the move Williamston 43, St. Johns 0 The Hornets (5-0) posted their third-straight shutout as they set up this week’s matchup at Haslett with a share of the Capital Area Activities Conference Red title on the line. St. Johns (4-1) remains just a game back. Lansing Sexton 34, Charlotte 18 Four of Sexton’s first five opponents have winning records, and this victory by the J-Dubbs (2-3) was Charlotte’s first in CAAC White play. Stockbridge 32, Reading 20 With a second-straight Big 8 Conference victory, the Panthers (2-3) suddenly have created some league title possibilities with leader Springport next up.
Northern Lower Peninsula
HEADLINER Traverse City St. Francis 21, Kingsley 20 This literally came down to inches as St. Francis stopped Kingsley (3-2) short on what would have been a go-ahead two-point conversion during the closing minutes. St. Francis (5-0) can finish its Northern Michigan Football Conference Leaders schedule undefeated this week against Boyne City, which joins Kingsley a game back in the standings. Click for more from the Traverse City Record-Eagle.
Watch list Traverse City West 27, Midland 21 (OT) The Titans (3-2) have navigated a pair of losses to top teams, and perhaps that paid off as they handed Midland (4-1) its only loss.
On the move Elk Rapids 15, Mancelona 14 Elk Rapids (2-3) has played a tough schedule and with undefeated Charlevoix up next. This win over Mancelona (3-2) was significant enough to jump the Elks six spots on the Division 6 playoff-points list. Ogemaw Heights 41, Clare 7 With a third-straight win over a possible contender, Ogemaw Heights (4-1) held on to the top spot alone in the Jack Pine Conference Division 1. East Jordan 34, Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart 12 The Red Devils (3-2) ended a two-game skid as they readied to jump back into NMFL Legacy play this week.
Southeast & Border
HEADLINER Michigan Center 36, Leslie 32 The Cardinals (5-0) remain undefeated overall and midway through the Cascades Conference East schedule thanks to winning their first close game this fall with a notable comeback. Leslie (4-1) led 20-8 at halftime before Michigan Center surged ahead and then held off a late Leslie charge. Click for more from the Jackson Citizen Patriot.
Watch list Adrian 3, Ypsilanti Lincoln 0 The Maples (4-1) equaled last season’s win total by handing Lincoln (4-1) its lone defeat thanks to Zach Hassan’s field goal during the closing seconds.
On the move Dexter 42, Chelsea 28 In one of the most power-packed matchups in the state, Dexter (4-1) bounced back from its Week 4 loss to hand Chelsea (4-1) its first this fall. Monroe Jefferson 44, Flat Rock 22 Jefferson (5-0) remains tied with Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central atop the Huron League standings after breaking a seven-game losing streak against the Rams (3-2). Hudson 56, Adrian Madison 7 Midway through the Lenawee County Athletic Association schedule, Hudson (5-0) is tied with Clinton for first, as Madison (3-2) has fallen to both but remains a solid 26th on the Division 6 playoff-points list thanks to bonus points earned during both defeats.
Southwest Corridor
HEADLINER Buchanan 16, Berrien Springs 13 The Bucks (4-1) took a serious step toward claiming a first Lakeland Conference title since 2022, edging two-time reigning champion Berrien Springs (3-1). Next up for Buchanan is reigning Division 7 champion Millington before a Week 7 matchup with Dowagiac that will decide the Lakeland title outright for one or both teams, depending on how Dowagiac does this week against the Shamrocks. Click for more from the Niles Daily Star.
Watch list Coldwater 28, Parma Western 21 The Cardinals (4-1) are seeking their first playoff berth this decade and picked up what could end up a significant win toward earning that postseason invite – Coldwater’s first victory over Western (1-4) since 2019.
On the move Battle Creek Harper Creek 37, Grand Rapids Kenowa Hills 15 The Beavers’ quick break in the Interstate 8 Athletic Conference schedule put them up against undefeated Kenowa Hills (4-1), and Harper Creek (4-1) avenged a 34-30 loss from a year ago. Vicksburg 28, Three Rivers 24 The Bulldogs (4-1) came up big in their toughest Wolverine Conference game yet, avenging last year’s 14-11 loss by handing Three Rivers (4-1) its first defeat. Union City 38, Quincy 14 The Chargers (4-1) bounced back quickly from a Week 4 loss to hand Quincy (4-1) its first this fall.
Upper Peninsula
HEADLINIER Kingsford 17, Calumet 15 The Western Peninsula Athletic Conference Copper race continued to sort itself out as Kingsford moved into a first-place tie with Menominee and Calumet joined three other teams tied for third. The Flivvers capped this win with a go-ahead field goal during the final minute. Click for more from the Iron Mountain Daily News.
Watch list Iron Mountain 30, L’Anse 26 This was easily the closest game these two have played against each other since becoming annual foes in 2018, and the win was especially significant for the Mountaineers (4-1) as they prepare for a rematch with Bark River-Harris in two weeks – while L’Anse (4-1) sees BR-H on Friday.
On the move Gladstone 59, Ishpeming Westwood 22 Gladstone (2-3) has found its stride offensively with two straight games reaching 50 points as the team surpassed last year’s win total before the end of September. Escanaba 42, Cheboygan 13 Escanaba (5-0) equaled last season’s win total in advance of this week’s matchup with rival Marquette. Marquette 48, Sault Ste. Marie 6 The Sentinels also set up for this week’s showdown with a big win including their most points scored in a game this season.
West Michigan
HEADLINER Big Rapids 40, Reed City 13 Big Rapids is 5-0 for the first time since 2009 and ran its Central State Activities Association winning streak to 17 with a third-straight victory over Reed City, having started this league run after falling to the Coyotes in 2022. The Cardinals can clinch a share of the CSAA Red title this week against Remus Chippewa Hills. Click for more from the Big Rapids Pioneer.
Watch list Rockford 28, Grandville 0 The Rams’ Week 1 loss to still-undefeated Saline is looks better every Friday, and Rockford has responded to that defeat by reducing the number of points it has given up for four weeks straight. The Rams have handed lone Ottawa-Kent Conference Red losses to East Kentwood and now Grandville (3-2), all great news heading into Friday’s showdown with undefeated Hudsonville.
On the move East Grand Rapids 10, Grand Rapids Northview 3 The O-K Black is going to be an interesting follow over the next three weeks as East Grand Rapids (3-2) handed Northview (4-1) its first loss to create a four-team tie for second behind Grand Rapids Catholic Central. Grand Rapids Catholic Central 10, Middleville Thornapple Kellogg 0 The Cougars (5-0) remain atop their league after a close win over a Trojans team (3-2) that already has equaled its win total from last year. Byron Center 42, Muskegon Mona Shores 35 (OT) After a tough start facing a loaded first-half schedule, Byron Center (2-3) might be on the verge of a nice run back to the playoffs and potentially shook up the O-K Green with this victory over the Sailors (3-2).
8-Player
HEADLINER Norway 44, Pickford 6 Pickford’s wins over the Knights had come by 45, 18 and 22 over the last two seasons (including once in the playoffs), but Norway (5-0) avenged in a big way with arguably its most impressive win this fall and over the last three playoff seasons. Pickford (4-1) had given up only 14 points total over its first four games.
Watch list Grand Rapids Sacred Heart 33, Gobles 14 Sacred Heart is a combined 14-1 over the last two seasons, but defeating a program of Gobles’ caliber adds more serious punch to an already impressive run.
On the move Onekama 30, Bay City All Saints 24 The Portagers (5-0) have defeated four teams with winning records, including All Saints (3-2), on the way to being tied for first on the Division 2 playoff-points list. Indian River Inland Lakes 49, Hillman 14 In handing Hillman (4-1) its first loss, Inland Lakes (5-0) kicked off a run that will send it against three more teams with winning records (at this point) to finish the regular season. Kingston 48, Brown City 20 The Cardinals (5-0) moved closer to a potential Week 7 showdown with rival Deckerville to decide the Big Thumb Conference Blue title.
