Charlevoix's Collin Jess gives respect to Menominee, thrilled to help bring title

CHARLEVOIX — Collin Jess has a lot of respect for the Menominee football program. While the junior quarterback is confident in his own Charlevoix team , he’s making no mistakes about disrespecting the Rayders’ regional opponent up next on Saturday, Nov. 14. It was only four years ago that Jess and current Rayder teammates got an up close look at Menominee in the district final round. “Eighth grade year, when my brother (Brady) was a junior, most of us went up to Menominee and we saw that team,” Jess said. “That team was the best team I’ve seen – until hopefully us if we can keep moving forward.” That Menominee team went on to earn a 50-14 win over the Rayders that day and fell in the state finals by just four points. This current Menominee team (10-1) is the defending Division 7 state champion and one that’s started off the playoffs with a 90-8 point-differential. Jess is smart to give the Maroons their flowers. What else would you expect from someone who has obviously been around a head football most of his life? And, last Friday, the younger Jess, who followed his brother and standout quarterback Brady Jess in

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.

The Burt Lake Northern Michigan Christian Academy Eagles were the standout volleyball team in the area this fall, having recently captured a first-ever MHSAA Division 4 district title with a victory over Harbor Light.
