Second Half editor
There are probably only a few surprises left as MHSAA 11-player football teams head into the second-to-last weekend of the season.
But there is plenty for us to tell about the 32 teams that have made it to Saturday's Semifinals.
See below for details on all 16 games, including some of the stories behind their runs and the players to watch for each.
All will be played Saturday. Click for a full schedule including times, and make sure to follow @MHSAA on Twitter for in-game updates all day Saturday.
Division 1
Flint Carman-Ainsworth (11-1) vs. Clarkston (11-1) at Lake Orion
Carman-Ainsworth is headed to its first Semifinal thanks in part to a defense allowing only nine points a game, but also on the legs of dynamic playmaker Jevonte Alexander. The senior quarterback/receiver/defensive back has run for 901 yards and nine touchdowns, thrown for 390 yards and five scores and returned two interceptions, a kickoff and a punt for scores as well. Clarkston has made four Semifinals over the last 15 seasons, but is playing for its first championship game berth. Balance has been key – junior quarterback D.J. Zezula has thrown for 2,156 yards and 17 scores and senior running back Ian Eriksen has run for 1,055 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Detroit Catholic Central (10-2) vs. Detroit Cass Tech (12-0) at Troy Athens
This is a rematch of the last two Division 1 championship games – both Cass Tech wins. Familiar faces will abound for those who saw those matchups. Cass Tech has some of the state’s top playmakers in quarterback Jayru Campbell, running backs Michael Weber and Deon Drake and receiver Damon Webb. Seniors Zach Bock and Dylan Roney are two-way standouts in the DCC backfield and on defense. Senior Connor Holton sees the ball most, with 975 of the team’s 3,107 rushing yards plus 11 scores.
Division 2
Muskegon (11-1) vs. Portage Central (12-0) at East Kentwood
The reigning runner-up Big Reds certainly have more experience at this stage as they hope to play for a fourth MHSAA title over the last decade. Senior quarterback Deshaun Thrower has been magnificent in keeping them in the hunt running for 1,575 yards and 24 touchdowns and throwing for 1,110 yards and 12 scores. Portage Central would be a deserving finalist as well; the Mustangs are scoring 43 points per game during their best season ever and first run to the Semifinals since 1977. A pair of senior running backs has carried the team to more than 4,000 yards rushing – Jerrod Davis has gained 1,586 yards with 26 touchdowns on the ground and Jacob Allan has run for 1,367 yards and 21 scores.
Birmingham Brother Rice (12-0) vs. Detroit Martin Luther King (10-1) at Wayne State University
This might beat out Cass Tech/DCC as the most anticipated Semifinal in the Greater Detroit area. Brother Rice is the reigning Division 2 champion and has been challenged only a few times during the final two months of longtime coach Al Fracassa’s final season after earning three wins by nine or fewer points during the first five weeks of the fall. Junior quarterback Alex Malzone is one of the most exciting at his position in the state, with 2,339 yards and 19 TDs through the air. Detroit King is having its best season since winning the MHSAA title in 2007 and has two of the state’s top two-way standouts in Avonte Maddox and Jalen Embry.
Division 3
Zeeland West (11-1) vs. Stevensville Lakeshore (9-3) at Vicksburg
Up in Division 3 for the second straight season, Zeeland West is in position to reach Ford Field for the second time in three years after winning Division 4 in 2011. The Dux grind down opponents with the run, rushing for 4,739 yards this season led by senior Danny Bauder’s 1,585 yards and 26 touchdowns on the ground. Lakeshore will be playing its fourth Semifinal seeking its first trip to an MHSAA championship game and is battle-tested against a strong league that includes Division 2 semifinalist Portage Central. Senior quarterback Mike Adams leads the way with 1,032 yards and 18 touchdowns running and 888 yards and 14 scores through the air.
DeWitt (12-0) vs. St. Clair (11-1) at Goodrich
The stories of these two vary considerably despite their similar successes this fall. St. Clair is making its first Semifinal trip, while DeWitt is playing in its ninth over the last 13 seasons and seeking its first trip to the Finals since 2004. Where they are alike is in their offensive prowess – both are led by strong dual-threat quarterbacks who direct strong rushing attacks. St. Clair senior quarterback Jared Tobey has run for 1,327 yards and 22 touchdowns and thrown for 886 yards and 16 touchdowns, with senior running back Bo Meldrum adding another 1,310 yards and 13 scores on the ground. DeWitt junior quarterback Jake Johnson missed time with an injury but has returned and total thrown for 1,644 yards and 28 scores and run for 471 more yards. Junior running back Ben Heinritz is averaging 8.8 yards per carry in gaining 1,291 total with 15 scores on the ground.
Division 4
Comstock Park (12-0) vs. Grand Rapids South Christian (11-1) at Rockford
South Christian junior quarterback Jon Wassink missed out on last season’s championship game win because of an injury, but he’s come back to lead another surge with 2,507 yards and 22 touchdowns passing and 1,002 yards and 20 touchdowns rushing. Junior running back Geff Plasman has added another 1,091 yards and 14 scores to the running attack. Comstock Park is in its third straight Semifinal, having fallen in the last two to the eventual MHSAA champion. But this also is the first the Panthers have entered undefeated, with a good deal of credit going to sophomore quarterback Pat Naughton (2,233 yards, 15 TDs passing) and senior running back Jake Bush (1,361 yards and 24 TDs rushing, 467 yards and four TDs receiving).
Lansing Sexton (12-0) vs. Marine City (11-1) at Ortonville Brandon
Sexton’s best season ever now will include its first Semifinal since 1989. The defense has been impressive against a tough set of opponents, giving up only 11.3 points per game. But the speedy offense has been equally difficult to stop keyed by an incredible group of junior playmakers – quarterback Malik Mack has thrown for 1,552 yards and 15 touchdowns, running back Avonte’ Bell has run for 1,033 yards and 18 scores and running back JaVon Wray has rushed for 1,222 yards and 18 scores (although Wray missed the Regional Final with an injury). This will be Marine City’s fourth Semifinal in seven seasons, and the Mariners come in with a similar attack. Junior quarterback Alex Merchant has thrown for 1,582 yards and 15 scores, while senior running back Tait Sapienza has run for 1,077 yards and junior Jarrett Mathison has run for 1,068.
Division 5
Menominee (12-0) vs. Muskegon Oakridge (11-1) at Northern Michigan University
An 18-year playoff streak has been capped by Menominee’s best run since winning its last MHSAA title in 2007. The Maroons’ always-prolific offense has been its best ever with a school-record 572 points, led by junior quarterback Justin Brilinski (1,073 yards/13 TDs rushing, 1,330 yards/13 TDs passing). Oakridge is looking to return to the Finals for the first time since its last championship in 2008 and despite losing its leading runner Dan Shoop for the playoffs with an injury. Senior quarterback Austin Wright has run for 894 yards and seven scores and thrown for 1,499 yards and 22 touchdowns.
Grand Rapids West Catholic (8-4) vs. Livonia Clarenceville (12-0) at Battle Creek Harper Creek
After just missing on last season’s Division 5 championship – losing 12-9 to Portland in the Final – West Catholic nearly missed the playoffs at 5-4 and made it only after a one-point win in Week 9. But back are senior running back Andy Corey (713 yards, 13 TDs rushing) and junior quarterback Travis Russell (518 yards/9 TDs rushing, 2,177 yards/18 TDs passing) to try to finish what they started a year ago. Standing in the way is Clarenceville’s first Semifinalist team since 2001. The Trojans are giving up only 11.9 points per game while riding the attack led by junior quarterback Jacob Kubiak (1,230 yards/16 TDs passing) and senior running back Jalen Bryant (1,199 yards/14 TDs rushing).
Division 6
Ithaca (12-0) vs. Montrose (12-0) at Midland
This is the fourth season in a row these two have met in the playoffs, and Ithaca is hoping for the same result as it goes for its fourth straight MHSAA title at 55th straight win. Senior quarterback Travis Smith has been incredible in trying to get his team back to Detroit with 2,773 yards and 35 touchdowns passing (completing 73 percent of his throws) and 475 yards and nine scores rushing. Montrose is keyed by a talented quarterback as well – senior Riley Warren has run for 730 yards and 10 scores and thrown for 1,485 yards and 19 touchdowns, with senior Malik Taylor catching 14 scoring passes and gaining 1,049 receiving yards (plus 782 yards and 11 TDs rushing). But senior Tyler Doyle might be the key to keeping Ithaca’s offense off the field. He’s run for 1,166 yards and 17 scores.
Shelby (11-1) vs. Clinton (12-0) at Middleville Thornapple-Kellogg
Shelby bounced back quickly from its lone loss, in Week 9, to reach its second straight Semifinal. Clinton is in its first since 1990, and both are seeking their first championship game berth. Shelby will try to get there in part with two senior running backs averaging more than 10 yards per carry – Devin Mussell has gained 1,223 yards and 17 touchdowns total on the ground, and Tony Guerra has added 961 yards and 12 scores. Clinton’s backfield is similarly loaded; senior Collin Poore has run for 1,509 yards and 18 touchdowns, while junior quarterback T.J. Baker has thrown for 1,868 yards and 23 scores and run for 641 yards and 16 TDs. The leading receiver is sophomore fullback Mathew Sexton with 33 catches for 1,059 yards (32.1 yards per catch) and 15 scores.
Division 7
Ishpeming (12-0) vs. Harbor Beach (11-1) at Northern Michigan University
This is a matchup of last season’s champion, Ishpeming, against reigning Division 8 champ Harbor Beach. They have just one loss between them this fall, but the Pirates fell only to Division 5 Semifinalist Menominee. Harbor Beach senior quarterback Eli Kraft caught plenty of eyes during last season’s run and has followed up with 1,248 yards and 24 touchdowns rushing and 1,770 yards and 19 scores passing while also starring at linebacker. Ishpeming senior quarterback Alex Briones made a similar impression last fall, and during this regular season he ran for 814 yards and 13 scores and threw for 1,050 yards and 13 scores without an interception.
Homer (11-0) vs. Detroit Loyola (12-0) at Chelsea
It’s tough for any MHSAA finalist to bounce back like Loyola has after losing its two best players from last season’s runner-up team. But the Bulldogs have been even more impressive with wins over Detroit Country Day and Detroit East English among others. Loyola is still running strong, with junior Marvin Campbell gaining 1,262 of the team’s 3,553 rushing yards. Homer has advanced to its first Semifinal by outscoring opponents on average 27-5 during the first half with perhaps the most balanced offense left in the playoffs. Homer has run for 2,051 yards and thrown for 2,374, led by seniors Chaz Hopkins (1,400 yards/21 TDs rushing) and quarterback Alex White (2,333 yards/30 TDs passing).
Division 8
Crystal Falls Forest Park (12-0) vs. Beal City (12-0) at Northern Michigan University
The Trojans had to survive some close calls to reach their eighth Semifinal in 10 seasons, but few statewide are more familiar with the pressure that goes along with this late date on calendar. One of those that does understand is Beal City, last season’s Division 8 runner-up, which is making its fifth Semifinal appearance in seven seasons. Forest Park junior running back Lee Graff is in the mold of the team’s typical load carrier with 1,401 yards and 29 touchdowns rushing as one of two backs averaging at least eight yards per carry. But a defense giving up 9.9 points per game must lock down the second-highest scoring offense in MHSAA history. The Aggies are averaging 57.6 points per game on the strength of a running game that’s gained more than 3,500 yards and is led by seniors Ty Rollin (1,140 yards/23 TDs rushing) and Hayden Huber (813 yards/19 TDs).
Muskegon Catholic Central (10-2) vs. New Lothrop (12-0) at Greenville
This will be, incredibly, Muskegon Catholic Central’s 18th Semifinal appearance over the 39 years of the playoffs, and the Crusaders are playing for their first trip to Detroit since 2008. Rather, they are running for the Finals led by junior quarterback Nick Holt (1,051 yards/21 TDs rushing, 777 yards/10 TDs passing) and senior Alex Lewandoski (1,068 yards/18 TDs rushing). This will be New Lothrop’s third Semifinal in eight seasons, and the Hornets prepared for this type of game by loading their nonleague schedule with the likes of Traverse City St. Francis and Pewamo-Westphalia. Senior Amari Coleman might be the most dangerous offensive player on the field – he’s averaging 19.4 yards per carry (for 987 with 18 TDs) and 16.1 per catch, and also has returned five punts and a kickoff for scores.

October 5, 2026
The races are on for 90 leagues featuring Michigan high school football teams this fall.
A few championships have been decided, and several more are in the process. Those races and how they stack up heading into these final weeks are easily the theme as we look back on Week 6 below.
Bay & Thumb
HEADLINER Sanford Meridian 42, Harrison 14 The Mustangs (6-0) clinched a share of the Jack Pine Conference Division 2 title and can make the championship outright this week against Beaverton. While the offense was mighty, the defense arguably was more impressive – Harrison (5-1) entered the game averaging 44.8 points per. Click for more from the Midland Daily News.
Watch list Port Huron 29, Macomb L’Anse Creuse North 14 Port Huron (6-0) clinched its first league title since 2023, claiming a share of the Macomb Area Conference Blue championship with a chance to finish the league schedule perfect this week against Warren Cousino. The Red Hawks have doubled up every league opponent so far, with LCN (4-2) providing the toughest challenge.
On the move Unionville-Sebewaing 30, Ubly 16 The Patriots (4-2) made the playoff last season for the first time this decade, and a year later have clinched a share of the Big Thumb Conference Black title with their two losses by a combined eight points. Holly 30, Flushing 29 Holly (4-2) can’t win the Flint Metro League Stripes title but with this result took Flushing (3-3) out of the race as well. Midland Dow 52, Traverse City West 24 The Chargers (4-2) kept pace one game behind Saginaw Valley League North leader Mount Pleasant and put West (3-3) in the same spot by dealing the Titans their first league defeat.
Greater Detroit
HEADLINER Detroit Catholic Central 31, Toledo Central Catholic (OH) 12 The Catholic High School League Central race still includes four teams with three league games (or two for two teams) to play, but it may realistically be down to just two contenders after the Shamrocks (6-0) handed TCC (5-2) its first league defeat. Next up for DCC is Orchard Lake St. Mary’s, the only other Central team without a league loss. Click for more from the Detroit Free Press.
Watch list Dearborn Fordson 14, Northville 10 Fordson (5-1) will be Northville’s biggest fan this week as the Tractors’ Kensington Lakes Activities Association Black title hopes now rest with the Mustangs (5-1), who play leader Belleville next. A five-point Week 3 loss to the Tigers has been Fordson’s only setback, with this win over Northville interestingly its fourth by seven points or fewer.
On the move Grosse Pointe South 28, Macomb Dakota 21 GPS (5-1) will need some help to finish next weekend with a share of the MAC Red title, but the Blue Devils are up to No. 7 in Division 2 playoff-point average with this win over Division 1 Dakota (3-3). Oxford 15, Rochester Adams 14 The Wildcats (5-1) avenged last season’s 27-point loss to Adams (3-3) to move up to a tie for No. 6 in Division 1 playoff-point average. Monroe Jefferson 36, New Boston Huron 21 Jefferson (5-0) paced a step closer to facing Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central in a winner-take-all Huron League decider in Week 8, while sending New Boston Huron (4-2) into a tie for third.
Mid-Michigan
HEADLINER Pewamo-Westphalia 34, Fowler 28 (2OT) It probably didn’t seem possible to exceed expectations in this rivalry matchup, and yet this game arguably did so as P-W prevailed for its first back-to-back wins over Fowler since 2020 and 2021. The Pirates (6-0) clinched at least a share of the league championship with the Eagles (5-1) now rooting for Saranac this week to give them a chance of still claiming a share. Click for more from WLNS.
Watch list Howell 28, Hartland 27 (OT) The Highlanders (6-0) held on to send Hartland (4-2) a game back in the KLAA Gold and set up a potential title decider this week against Brighton.
On the move Brighton 28, Dearborn 27 The Bulldogs (4-2) similarly had to survive a close one to make this week’s matchup with Howell mean even more. Dearborn fell to 3-3 with a second single-digit loss over the last three weeks. New Lothrop 49, Ovid-Elsie 14 The Hornets (5-1) kept pace in the Mid-Michigan Activities Conference, a game behind leader Montrose, while making a title pursuit much tougher for the Marauders (3-3) as they prepare to face Montrose this week. Okemos 37, Holt 20 At 4-2, Okemos has as many wins this fall as the last six years combined and sits No. 30 in Division 1 playoff-point average.
Northern Lower Peninsula
HEADLINER Petoskey 42, Gaylord 21 The Northmen (4-2) control their destiny in the Big North Conference, with this win over the Blue Devils (3-3) leaving open an opportunity to face Marquette in Week 8 for a share of the league title – or more, if Marquette slips up this week against Gaylord. Cadillac also remains in the mix, tied with Petoskey for second place. Click for more from the Petoskey News-Review.
Watch list Maple City Glen Lake 34, Oscoda 14 With three league games to go, three teams are chasing leader East Jordan in the Northern Michigan Football Conference – and Glen Lake (4-2) is one of those three teams 4-1 in league play thanks to this key victory over Oscoda (3-3).
On the move Traverse City St. Francis 49, Pontiac Notre Dame Prep 28 The Gladiators (4-2) quietly have strung together three straight wins after a tough season start. After facing similarly tough competition, Notre Dame Prep (2-4) is hanging on to the No. 31 spot in the Division 5 playoff-point rankings. Elk Rapids 26, Boyne City 6 The Elks (4-2) avenged a 36-0 loss last season to the Ramblers (3-3) with their first win over them since 2011. Harbor Springs 18, Lakeview 13 The Rams (5-1) are now a win away from their most since 2019, and Lakeview (3-3) is enjoying the same scenario despite this defeat.
Southeast & Border
HEADLINER Hudson 38, Clinton 30 Four teams are back in the hunt in the Lenawee County Athletic Association after Hudson handed Clinton its first defeat in both league play and overall. Ida stands alone atop the standings at 5-0, but Hudson, Clinton and Adrian Madison are all 4-1 – with Hudson playing Ida in Week 8 and Clinton getting Ida this week followed by Madison on Oct. 16. Click for more from the Adrian Daily Telegram.
Watch list Temperance Bedford 38, Dexter 35 Bedford made the District Finals last season while finishing 5-6 overall, and the Kicking Mules (6-0) already have surpassed that win total as they prepare for a potential Week 8 winner-take-all against Saline in the Southeastern Conference Red.
On the move Manchester 80, Leslie 35 This battle for first in the Cascades Conference North turned high scoring and then some, with the end result Manchester (5-1) gaining an opportunity to earn a share of the league title this week as Leslie (4-2) already had done so. Adrian 15, Tecumseh 14 Adrian (5-1) needs help to have a chance at a share of the SEC White championship, but the Maples continued to improve their playoff position jumping up to No. 14 in Division 4 while sending Tecumseh to No. 22. Springport 61, Reading 8 Springport (5-1) took the last step to set up this week’s matchup of Big 8 Conference leaders with Union City.
Southwest Corridor
HEADLINER Decatur 34, Galesburg-Augusta 7 The Raiders (6-0) clinched a share of a second-straight Southwest 10 Conference championship with another dominating victory and have given up only 28 points total over their last five. Galesburg-Augusta (5-1) will be hoping for some help from Hartford in Decatur’s league finale in Week 8. Click for more from the Kalamazoo Gazette.
Watch list Berrien Springs 29, Dowagiac 28 Berrien Springs (6-0) clinched a share of a fourth-straight Lakeland Conference title but needed its closest league win in decades to do so. Dowagiac (3-3) lost by 21 and 14 in its two meetings with the Shamrocks last season, but made this one much closer.
On the move Kalamazoo United 7, Schoolcraft 0 The Titans (6-0) strengthened their hold significantly on first place in the Southwestern Athletic Conference and lead two others by a game with three to play – all against teams 2-4 or 1-5. Battle Creek Harper Creek 38, Coldwater 19 The Beavers (5-1) kept pace just behind Marshall in the Interstate 8 Athletic Conference and surely will root for Coldwater (4-2) against the Redhawks in Week 8. Battle Creek Central 36, Kalamazoo Central 23 The Bearcats (3-3) broke a three-game losing streak as they pursue a first playoff appearance since 2022, and this win jumped them 15 spots in the Division 3 playoff-point average rankings to No. 32.
Upper Peninsula
HEADLINER Bark River-Harris 46, L’Anse 18 The Broncos (5-1) bounced back from their lone loss to move within one more win of clinching a share of a repeat Western Peninsula Athletic Conference Iron title. Bark River-Harris can make that happen this week against Hancock, which has only one defeat in league play. L’Anse (3-3) is just outside the top 32 on the Division 8 playoff-points average list but has opportunities to gain big points the rest of the way facing Iron Mountain, Hancock and Calumet.
Watch list Marquette 34, Alpena 21 Marquette (4-2) entered this season a combined 14-4 in Big North Conference play over its three seasons in the league. But its increased that to 18-4 this fall as it attempts to close in on a first league title in the BNC after two second places and a third.
On the move Kingsford 35, Hancock 6 The Flivvers (6-0) edged another win closer to setting up a winner-take-all again in the West PAC Copper against Menominee. Calumet 34, Houghton 13 The Copper Kings (4-2) bounced back from consecutive losses to those Copper contenders and sit No. 14 in Division 6 playoff-point average. Negaunee 36, Ishpeming Westwood 14 The Miners (4-2) rank No. 18 in Division 5 playoff-point average as they prepare to host undefeated Menominee with a chance to shake up those league standings.
West Michigan
HEADLINER Muskegon Mona Shores 29, Byron Center 28 The margin was slim but the result massive in the Ottawa-Kent Conference Green as Mona Shores (5-1) sits alone atop the standings after breaking a two-game losing streak against the Bulldogs (4-2). The Sailors can clinch a share of the league title this week against Muskegon High. Click for more from the Local Sports Journal.
Watch list Hopkins 42, Belding 22 The Vikings (6-0) also sit alone atop the O-K Silver standings after handing Belding (5-1) its lone defeat and breaking a four-game losing streak against the Black Knights. The victory also gave Hopkins one more than all of last season.
On the move Grand Rapids Catholic Central 27, Middleville Thornapple Kellogg 7 The Cougars (5-1) took over first place alone in the O-K Black, handing MTK (5-1) its lone loss with an impressive defensive showing. East Kentwood 31, Rockford 10 The Falcons (6-0) did their part to set up this week’s O-K Red showdown with also-undefeated co-leader Caledonia, also sending Rockford to 3-3. Zeeland West 48, Zeeland East 14 The Dux (5-1) ran their winning streak in this neighborly rivalry to 11, bouncing back nicely from a Week 5 defeat.
8-Player
HEADLINER Portland St. Patrick 28, Pickford 18 These two remain on track to potentially finish their seasons at the Superior Dome, as St. Patrick (6-0) moved up two spots to sit tied for No. 3 in Division 2 playoff-point average and Pickford (5-1) fell just one position after entering the weekend No. 1 in Division 1. The Shamrocks led 7-6 at halftime before pulling away. Click for more from the Cheboygan Daily Tribune.
Watch list Crystal Falls Forest Park 34, Norway 26 The Trojans (5-1) dwell alone in second place in the Great Lakes Eight Conference West with a Week 9 date with leader Lake Linden-Hubbell gaining more and more steam.
On the move Climax-Scotts 56, Marcellus 52 This was another high-profile cross-division battle as Climax-Scotts moved up to No. 6 in Division 1 playoff-points average and Marcellus fell to No. 10 in Division 2. Bridgman 58, St. Joseph Our Lady of the Lake Catholic 20 The Bees (5-1) bounced back from a Week 5 defeat to hand Our Lady (4-2) this one before Our Lady attempts to finish off a league title run this week. Merrill 30, Breckenridge 14 Despite a notable defensive effort by the Huskies (3-3), high-scoring Merrill powered through to set up this week’s winner-take-all matchup with Blanchard Montabella in the Mid-State Activities Conference Blue.
