D8 Final rematch set (Kalamazoo Gazette)
April 12, 2012
Big news on the football opening night front: Reigning Division 8 champion Mendon will face Fowler in a rematch of last season's Final at Ford Field.

Mendon beat Fowler 33-0 in that championship game, but both teams are expected to return some of their biggest stars this fall.
