Performance of the Week: Gladwin's Treyton Siegert

December 2, 2022

Treyton SliegertTreyton Siegert ♦ Gladwin
Junior ♦ Football

In just his second year kicking a football, Siegert connected on a field goal that's sure to be remembered in his community for years to come. His 21-yarder with two seconds to play in Saturday's Division 5 championship game clinched a 10-7 win over Frankenmuth and Gladwin's first football Finals championship. The field goal was his fourth this season, in five attempts.

Much more unnoticed but still important Saturday, he sent two of his three kickoffs into the end zone for touchbacks, and he also averaged 41.2 yards on six punts, with his longest on the day 57 yards. Siegert also plays on Gladwin's soccer team during the fall, club hockey during the winter, and he was the Mid-Michigan Golf Conference champion shooting a 77 at the league tournament this past spring.

Be the Referee: 8-Player vs. 11-Player Football

By Paige Winne
MHSAA Marketing & Social Media Coordinator

November 19, 2024

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.

Below is this week's segment – 8-Player vs. 11-Player Football - Listen

Do you know the two main differences between 8-player and 11-player football?

The name gives away one … 8-player is played with 3 less players.

The other difference is the field size. An 11-player field is 120 yards long and 53½ yards wide. An 8-player field in Michigan is the same length, but 40 yards wide, which moves the hash marks in as well.

But other than those two differences, the rules of football remain pretty much the same. At least five players on offense must be on the line of scrimmage at the snap, and each offensive player must be within 12 yards of the spot of the ball when snapped.

High school overtime rules are the same – each team gets four downs from the 10-yard line to score.
