Grandville football upsets Howell after surviving brutal schedule

Taking some beatings early this fall is finally paying dividends. Grandville (5-5) barely snuck into the playoffs after playing the second-hardest strength of schedule among Michigan’s 493 teams. That included facing state powers Muskegon, Detroit Cass Tech, East Kentwood and Hudsonville in consecutive games to open the season. Considering Cass Tech (10-0) and East Kentwood (10-0) are the two best teams in the state right now, that’s impressive. Especially playing them in back-to-back weeks. But iron sharpens iron, as they say in the high school football business. And that brutal schedule prepared Grandville for the Division 1 postseason. More: Subscribe to our high school football newsletter DJ Hardiman rushed 15 times for 143 yards and two touchdowns, Jayce Hopewell added 21 carries for 114 yards and three TDs and Grandville upset Howell, 38-30, in the district opener Friday, Oct. 30. Grandville not only earned the right to face Portage Central (9-1) in this week’s district championship, but also claimed bragging rights as the first eighth seed to beat a No. 1 seed under the Michigan High School Athletic Association’s new playoff format, which seeds the entire region instead of just individual districts. “There were times we looked at our schedule,

High school football playoffs: Zeeland East, Saugatuck ousted

ST. JOSEPH - The Zeeland East football team had been moving the ball down the field and playing fairly well defensively, yet still found themselves in a 14-0 hole late in the third quarter of their first round playoff game on Friday, Oct. 30. But after a seven-play, 55-yard drive that culminated in a 6-yard Zeek Ramadhani touchdown run, the Chix were down just 14-6 after three quarters. As St. Joseph faced a fourth-and-3 from the Zeeland East 22 with 10:07 remaining in the game, it looked as if there might still be a glimmer of hope for the Chix to pull off the upset. But St. Joseph junior running back Ishmael Dixon took a pitch and was able to get just enough for the first down as the Bears ultimately put the ball in the end zone to pull away for a 34-20 win over Zeeland East in the Division 3 district playoffs. St. Joseph (8-2) will host Middleville Thornapple Kellogg next week in the district finals, while Zeeland East completes its season at 5-5. "Give (St. Joseph) credit because they got up a couple of scores on us and they converted two fourth downs on that drive (when
