Opponent's forfeit makes for memorable Shepherd homecoming game
Standish-Sterling athletic director Steve Stodolak called Shepherd football coach Owen Russell on Oct. 2. Not to congratulate Russell on an impressive, hard-fought 34-28 win over Clare that night but to give the first-year coach a heads-up that Standish-Sterling might have to forfeit its Week 7 game. Standish-Sterling is having one of those seasons when a limited roster isn’t just keeping it from being competitive. It’s keeping the team from having enough healthy bodies to take the field. After a 60-0 loss to West Branch Ogemaw Heights, it likely would be too banged up to play the following week, on Oct. 9, at Shepherd. That was bad news. Shepherd (5-2) is enjoying one of its best seasons in years, highlighted by upset wins over Ogemaw Heights and Clare in Jack Pine Conference play. It wanted to keep that momentum rolling as it pushed for its first playoff berth since 2022. But more important? It was homecoming. So Russell immediately worked the phones, desperately trying to line up a replacement opponent in case Standish-Sterling canceled. Wednesday rolled around and, sure enough, Standish-Sterling had canceled. And Russell couldn’t find another team willing to make the trip to Shepherd. Game day was two days
