Detroit Cesar Chavez quarterback Omar Salih and receiver Nate Drew threw themselves into the MHSAA and national record books Friday. 

Salih completed 28 of 45 passes for 674 yards and nine touchdowns in a 64-41 win over Mayville. Drew caught 16 of those passes for 456 yards and seven scores. 

The yardage and touchdown totals for both are MHSAA records, and Drew's yardage also tied the national record for one game. 

We've cut and clipped together those seven touchdown passes. See below:

Kalamazoo's Ron Winter has been part of just about every major event possible on a football field with more than four decades officiating high school, college and now National Football League games.

He can appreciate each level for what makes it special. And he's passed on those experiences and lessons galore to young officials and students at Western Michigan University.

Winter -- and MHSAA registered official the last 42 years -- was appointed earlier this month to serve a two-year term on the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports.
