Charlevoix, East Jordan and Harbor Springs all earn shutouts
ELK RAPIDS — It doesn’t take more than a quick glance at the Charlevoix football team’s schedule to see how well the defense is playing down the stretch. The zeros say it all. For a third consecutive week, Charlevoix put a shutout on the schedule Friday night, this time their biggest of the season in a 9-0 win over a much-improved and solid Elk Rapids team.

But really, nothing beats those fall nights at Western Avenue Field for Grisdale. So, it’s been an adjusting period. “We didn’t find out (that the season was being cancelled) until fall camp, so I was planning on doing it, but I always thought some of those early games were too early, and all of a sudden, here we are where you’ve got summer and you’ve got football,” Grisdale said. “In the
