Tigers, Cloud, Vikes playoff bound? Packers drop their finale as Panthers win theirs
Grant 19 Kent City 0 The Grant Tigers hosted the Kent City Eagles for Senior night and what a night it was for the seniors who look to play in at least one more game in their final season as a Tiger. The Tiger’s defense stopped the Eagles offense the first two drives, the first with a fumble recovery at the Grant 31 and the second once again at their own 31 on downs. Senior Quarterback Brady Jacobs led the offense on an almost 5 minute drive capped off by his 4 yard touchdown run with 1:16 left in the first quarter . Senior Gage Scholtens' point after was good for a 7-0 Grant lead. Both defenses tightened up until the Tigers took possession at the Kent City 47 yard line with 44 ticks left on the clock. Jacobs completed a 15 yard pass to Senior Nathan Lang and followed with a 19 yard pass to Cohen Garrod. Jacobs then scampered around left end for 12 yard gain before scoring on the next play up the middle with 11 seconds left in the half for a 13-0 lead. After intermission the Tiger defense continued to play well and the offense took over with a long time consuming drive of over 8 minutes with Jacobs scoring from 5 yards out with 7:29 left in the game to take a 19-0 lead. Brady Jacobs led the Tigers with 175 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns, he was also 4/8 and 50 yards passing. The defense was led by senior Treyton Railling with 13 tackles, senior Brady Jacobs and Senior Angel Tello with 8 apiece. Junior Zachary Barnhart had 7 tackles and a fumble recovery. The win puts the Tigers (4-5) into the playoff picture so the team will undoubtedly be watching the Sunday Selection show at 5:30pm to see where they might be traveling for game #10. One possibility is a rematch with highly rated Comstock Park and a chance to avenge a season opening loss on the Tiger’s turf. Cadillac 35 Fremont 0 The Packers wrapped up their season Friday night on the road with a running clock in the second half as the playoff bound and state ranked Vikings sailed past their Fremont visitors. Cadillac’s offense scored twice and the defense added a pick 6 before the end of the first quarter and the hosts tacked on 2 more TD’s before intermission to build the 35-0 lead that would hold up as the final score. Alex Gleason completed 11 passes to a quartet of teammates but the Viking defense held the air game to 60 yards while picking a pair in the process. Gleason hit Wei Chen and Hayden Threatt 4 times, Justin Dirheimer twice and Owen VandenBerg once. Gleason also led the Packer running game with 69 yards while Dirheimer added 29. On defense, VandenBerg, Threatt, Michael Romero and Kyle DeKuiper led the team in tackles. Fremont finishes their season 1-8 Tri County 32 Manistee 28 The Vikings wrapped up a highly successful regular season with yet another dramatic comeback win on the road. TC came into the 4th quarter down 28-12 before tacking on 20 straight points and leaving town with their 8th win. The win should help give the Vikes a home game in the playoffs. Given the strong chance that the teams will be placed in the same district, a possible rematch of last week's epic battle with Big Rapids might be looming. Hart 28 White Cloud 6 Despite the loss the Cloud finished the season in the 32nd and final playoff spot for D8 so barring any possible changes after a handful of Saturday games involving other teams in the division, the White Cloud Varsity should hear their name called at The Sunday Selection Show. It would be no surprise to see them embarking toward Beal City next week. Hesperia 34 Shelby 14 The Panthers gave their first year coach Dave Smith his first win in the season’s final game. Brandon Quinn broke out with 4 TDs as he piled up 269 yards on the ground with Armando Escobedo adding another 99 rushing yards. Escobedo also picked off a pair of Tiger passes on defense. Scott Quinn also intercepted a pass for the Panthers.
