There was a buzz in the air Friday night in Lowell as the Red Arrows prepared to host the Big Reds. This district championship game was a rematch of a hard-fought regional championship game from last year, in which Lowell beat Muskegon in a last-minute thriller of a victory. Fans [...]

When it was announced the Muskegon/Muskegon Heights rivalry would be renewed after over thirty years of dormancy, people knew it would be a big deal. One realized just how big, however, when approaching Hackley Stadium this afternoon– cars lined the streets over two blocks away from the stadium, and fans [...]

This Class A District, with games being played at Grand Haven, looks to have two clear frontrunners, a solid “Next Best” choice, and then a handful of teams that don’t have a realistic shot at making it out of the District. Three of the teams in this District hail from [...]

Lowell jumped out to a 27-7 lead with 7:27 left in the 2nd quarter and then had to come from behind with 2:28 left in the 4th quarter to beat Muskegon 33-28. What started out to be a high scoring game became a defensive battle in the 3rd quarter, until [...]

Success in football, perhaps more so than any other sport, is influenced by excitement. It’s a game of energy, and a game of passion, and when one team has more of those things than another, well, it’s tough for the other team to keep up. The other thing about excitement [...]

A look around the wide world of high school sports and the web that covers it. Well, not the whole world, mostly just the distance between Lake Michigan and somewhere-in-the-vicinity-of-Lansing, give or take about 50-miles. In an order wholly indecipherable to the naked eye. So look closely: Class-A basketball rankings [...]

News broke late Thursday night that first year Muskegon football coach Matt Koziak will be stepping down from his post effective immediately.

Rockford stuns everyone but themselves in improbable win over Muskegon

Entering Friday’s matchup against undefeated Rockford, D-1 champs taking on D-2 champs, the Big Reds had two goals: control the running game, and don’t turn the ball over. No ambivalence about it, Muskegon played their game. They shut down Rockford’s Houdini-esque running game with absolutely stifling defense, while their own [...]

Comments { 9 }
Remember way back in the preseason, everyone was looking to this week’s matchup between Rockford and Muskegon to decide who was the overall, pound-for-pound powerhouse of West Michigan high school football. EGR was in the mix for that title back then too, as was appropriate, but most of the pundits [...]

With two-thirds of the 2009 football regular season behind us (sniff, sniff), we are now officially in the home stretch. The best have locked up their playoff berth, the worst are out of the running (apart from a surprise or two), and the rest will be fighting for their playoff [...]
