It’s a great day here at High School Sports Scene, and we’re in the middle of a busy and great fall high school sports season.
With a little more chill in the air and the leaves starting to turn colors, you know you are in the middle of the high school football season, and what a season it has been so far! I was at the mega-blockbuster football game in Lowell September 20, when the unbeaten Red Arrows took on the unbeaten Muskegon Big Reds, who have been defeating everybody in the sight. Coach Noel Dean, however, had his Red Arrows primed, and Lowell came out of the battle royale with the win and their sights set on a trip to Ford Field come November.
Other area teams have been having huge seasons this fall, including the Ithaca Yellowjackets, who have not skipped a beat as they go for a fourth straight state title. The area is also home to several other teams that started the season with 4-0 records, including Beal City, Carson-City Crystal, Coleman, DeWitt, Lansing Sexton, Mason, Midland, Montrose, New Lothrop, Pewamo-Westphalia, Portland, Meridian, and Swan Valley.
Good luck to all the area football teams as the season heads for the home stretch and teams look for that sixth win to qualify for what should be a great playoff season.
Area runners, golfers, swimmers, tennis players, soccer players, and volleyball players are also busy with their sports. Girls’ golf teams are gearing up for conference tournaments and for the state meet coming up in October.
The area, especially the greater Lansing area, is home to some outstanding soccer teams this fall. Look for East Lansing boys’ soccer to make a big run at a state title this year.
Some outstanding runners are blazing the cross-country courses this fall. The countless miles that high school runners logged in the off-season are starting to pay off as the state finals get closer.
Everyone here at High School Sports Scene Magazine is working hard to bring the stories and capture all the photos of the fall action. Check out the High School Sports Scene Magazine website to keep on top of the action and to get photos of your favorite athletes.
With the nice weather winding down, be sure to get out to your local football field on a Friday night or check out some soccer or golf or tennis and enjoy the fall Sports Scene.
