MENOMINEE — The Upper Peninsula has come with plenty of heartbreak for the Charlevoix football program over recent playoff seasons.

Gaylord St. Mary wins semifinal thriller, on to 8-player D2 state title

He didn't hesitate: according to Royce, a state championship had been on the Snowbirds minds since Nov. 7, 2025, following a season-ending loss to Onekama. Now, 12 weeks and 11 wins later, Royce and the Snowbirds are just one win away from making those dreams a reality. Royce accounted for over 300 yards of offense and six touchdowns as GSM pulled off a 39-36 victory over the defending 8-player Division 2 state champion Portland St. Patrick, advancing to this year's title game on Saturday, Nov. 21 at the Superior Dome in Marquette. "Our first interview, back against Pellston, the message was 13 weeks to go. Now, we're down to one," Royce said. "It all started back after Onekama, and now we're so close. It's right there in front of us."
