  *Algonac Muskrats (11-1) continue to surprise everyone but themselves on what they have accomplished this season. Despite losing out on the BWAC league title to Richmond in the regular season - Algonac regrouped to win another District Title (2nd in school history), and won the school's first ever football Regional Title defeating Ida 38-22. Now the Muskrats wants to make more pivotal history with the first trip to a State Championship game.

Lumen Christi have been to the State Final dance before in the past back in 2009 winning the Championship. In fact the Titans were a perennial power in the Semi-finals & Finals in the early 2000's. But since 2009 they have not got over the Regional hump. Millington last visit to the Semi-finals was back in 2009 in a loss to Clare.
  Hear all the action live on WIDL 92.1 FM radio - Saturday, Nov 19th 1pm.

  *Ubly Bearcats (12-0) clawed their way back to a Division 7 Semi-final with their minor 22-13 upset win over New Lothrop (10-2) last week. Now the Bearcats face Pewamo-Westphalia Pirates (12-0) in the Semi-finals. The Pirates were in the State Championship last year losing to Ispheming 16-22, and this is their third straight semifinal. Ubly has been to the Semi-finals in the past (2009, 2008, 2006, 2003) and reached the State Final back in 2008. Can they make it back to the State Final?
