Livonia Franklin football wants to keep post-victory tradition going
LIVONIA — Adversity can tear some teams apart. For Livonia Franklin (9-2), it did the opposite. A close call in Week 7 sparked the six-game winning streak that has carried Franklin through the Division 2 playoffs. After edging Allen Park, 35-28, in the opener, Franklin upset unbeaten Gibraltar Carlson , 17-6, to capture its 10th district title and first since winning back-to-back championships in 2021 and 2022. Franklin visits Grosse Pointe South (10-1) Friday, Nov. 13, with a shot at the state semifinals for the fifth time in program history. That Week 7 scare against 1-8 White Lake Lakeland set everything in motion. Franklin trailed 14-0 before rallying for a 35-28 victory. “That game really taught us that we can’t take any team lightly, no matter what their record is,” junior Tyler Brown said. “We can’t over complicate how we prepare. We’ve just got to work hard no matter who the opponent is.” More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter Instead of pointing fingers, the players leaned on their chemistry.

Athletic director Arnie Muscat confirmed Stevenson has let go of coach Randy Micallef after 14 seasons leading his alma mater. “We decided to make a change in the Stevenson Football program and will be now moving in a new direction,” Muscat said. “We are grateful to Randy Micallef for his 14 years of dedicated service to our program and for all he has done for our student-athletes.” Stevenson finished 2-7 overall and 2-6 in the Lakes Valley Conference this fall, its first season in the league. “I am very disappointed in the decision,” Micallef said. “I was excited about the group of young men that were returning and had gained a lot of experience this season.
