Predicting Michigan high school football playoff scores in regionals

Another week means the Michigan High School Athletic Association has a fresh set of trophies to distribute for MHSAA football winners. Following the district final round, the remaining teams have a week to turn around and play for another wooden mitten in the regional championship this weekend . Most of the action is scheduled for Friday night, with a handful of games Saturday. This is the final week of home games in the 2026 season, with neutral venues coming up in the semifinals and finals. The difficulty keeps ratcheting up as only true contenders remain. Nothing is a given for any team now, no matter how talented. The schedule is back on track for every team, following Monday's court decision on Grand Rapids Catholic Central's temporary restraining order, which had reinstated the Cougars in the state playoffs. The two-week saga concluded by upholding the MHSAA's original decision to pull GRCC for the use of an ineligible player during the regular season . Removing GRCC means Berrien Springs advanced to the regional finals by default. The Shamrocks play Saturday against defending Division 5 state champion Grand Rapids West Catholic.

Michigan Schools Short Billions as Reading Scores Hit 12-Year Low, Report Finds

Michigan schools would need an additional $1.74 billion just to meet the research-based funding needs of students with disabilities, according to a new statewide report released Tuesday. The same report found that just 38.2% of Michigan third graders tested proficient in English Language Arts on the 2026 M-STEP, a dip from 38.9% the year before and the lowest mark in the exam's 12-year history. Together, the figures paint a portrait of a state making incremental gains while deep structural gaps persist.

Out-of-state students voted in Michigan. They shouldn't have. | Brady

Sophie Boyle is an out-of-state student. She moved from Westchester, New York, to Ann Arbor over the summer to begin her freshman year at the University of Michigan — just in time for her first election. She cast her ballot for Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. “They made it really easy here. I could switch my registration and vote all in one kind of process,” she said. “New York tends to lean left ... and Michigan is a very competitive, very crucial swing state. I knew that, in terms of where my vote would count more, Michigan was a more substantial place to vote.” Thousands of out-of-state students shared Boyle’s thought process, and most of them supported Democrats. It’s no surprise El-Sayed won Washtenaw County — which includes the University of Michigan — by a 50-point margin. To be clear, El-Sayed and others in his party would have triumphed last week even without the out-of-state vote, especially in overwhelmingly blue college towns like Ann Arbor and East Lansing. But this election was an anomaly. In normal times, without a historically unpopular president like Donald Trump in the White House, out-of-staters really can make a difference. That’s a problem. Elections have serious consequences.
