Charlevoix football meets crushing end in D7 regional against Menominee

MENOMINEE — The Upper Peninsula has come with plenty of heartbreak for the Charlevoix football program over recent playoff seasons. Nothing from the past, however, feels greater than what the Rayders went through on Saturday afternoon in Menominee during a Division 7 regional championship game. Leading the Maroons in a 14-13 game with just over a minute remaining, an unfortunate series of plays suddenly left the Rayders stunned and trailing in a 21-14 game. Charlevoix had one final chance, though an interception by Menominee on that final offensive drive left things in a 21-14 victory for the Maroons. “It was a heartbreaker for sure, but our kids battled,” Charlevoix coach Don Jess said after. “It’s a tough environment coming up here to play and I couldn’t be more proud of them. They should be proud of themselves. It was a heck of an effort.” After exhausting all of Menominee’s timeouts on a drive that came up five yards short of sealing the game up 14-13, Charlevoix set up for a punt, which Talan Jacobs launched down to the Menominee 15 yard line. There, Jett Thonne picked up the loose ball, then raced 81 yards down the Menominee sideline to the

Maroons hit the Jett to push past Charlevoix in Regional championship clash

MENOMINEE — Walton Blesch Stadium has been host to many memorable football games over its 126 years of existence, but few were as awash with drama as Saturday’s MHSAA Division 7 Regional 25 championship contest between Menominee and Charlevoix. Trailing by one, a Menominee defense on the brink of exhaustion delivered a crucial third-down stop to force a Charlevoix punt with just over a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. Talan Jacobs’ booming kick took a Rayders’ bounce over the head and into the arms of Jett Thonne at the Maroons’ 24-yard line as a swarm of Charlevoix gunners closed in. Quickly scanning the field in front of him, Thonne slipped to his left and found himself squarely behind a convoy of Maroon blockers. With Thonne’s every step, the Walton Blesch crowd grew louder and louder until pandemonium overtook the bleachers as Thonne rumbled his way deep into Charlevoix territory for an 80-yard return. “He (Jacobs) kicked it over my head a little bit but I just got the ball and let my blockers lead the way for me,” Thonne said. “He’s only a sophomore but he’s not afraid to make plays when it’s his time. We had a wall

How Cheboygan hockey plans to 'turn some heads' in 2026-27 season

CHEBOYGAN — In May, Seth Duncan sat inside his classroom with his coaching staff. Alongside the Cheboygan High School hockey coach and his staff was someone Duncan points to as an inspiration. It was Cheboygan alum Adam Nightingale , who's currently Michigan State's men's hockey coach. After listening to Nightingale for about 45 minutes on that day, Duncan followed up by attending a coaches clinic at MSU in the summer. In both occurrences, Duncan took heed to what Nightingale said and made sure to apply it to his own team for the upcoming season.

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.
