Football Finals updated
February 16, 2012
Check out our updated Championship Game records with everything from the 2011 Finals, including our first categories for 8-player football.
Among things that stick out from this past season's games:
- The Division 5 Flint Powers Catholic/Lansing Catholic game easily provided the most entries from this season and stacks up among the MHSAA's most offense-heavy Finals ever.
- Orchard Lake St. Mary and Saginaw Nouvel had two of the best running games in Finals history.
- Former Ithaca quarterback Alex Niznak is all over the record book for his accomplishments in the 2010 Division 6 Final. But last season's QB Travis Smith now has nearly as significant a presence after a big-time 2011 performance.
Click Record Book, and let me know at the end of the day if I've missed something. Make sure to click on "Championship Game Records." Additional updates to regular-season and career lists are on the way.
Highlight Reel: East Lansing's Faymous Tyra
August 29, 2012
East Lansing's Faymous Tyra helped the Trojans light up the Haslett scoreboard quickly in Friday's season opener by taking the first kickoff of 2012 back to the Vikings' 2-yard line.
See that clip here -- and help us show everyone your favorite highlights from any sport.
Have a highlight or two we all should see? Email the mp4 file to Geoff Kimmerly at [email protected], along with a brief explanation of who is on the clip, when it took place, where and the final score of the contest. We'll produce them and post them on our Second Half "Videos" page. Or point us to a video clip already posted on YouTube, and we'll give a home here as well.
Here's Tyra's kickoff return, which is already making him a little "faymous" around the Greater Lansing area.
