Adrian's season unravels in district finals loss to Divine Child, Week 11 playoffs roundup

DEARBORN — Luke Bruggeman’s jersey told the story. The royal blue No. 7 on the back of his jersey was practically illegible, with the lettering and a significant portion of the fabric ripped loose. Bruggeman’s undershirt didn’t fare much better as a sizeable hole tore through the fabric on the upper half of his left sleeve. The jersey was battered. So were the Maples. Adrian wrapped up its 2026 season Friday night with a 49-14 loss to Divine Child in the MHSAA Division 4 district finals. The reigning state champion Falcons put the game out of reach early and took a 42-0 lead into halftime. Divine Child’s dynamic duo of quarterback Drew Sheridan and wide receiver Rayshawn Thomas plagued the Maples from the opening drive. Adrian had no answers for the Falcons’ potent passing attack. Offensively, Adrian struggled with Divine Child’s speed and size at the line of scrimmage. The Maples didn’t record a first down until the third quarter. Bruggeman failed to score a touchdown and was held under 100 yards for the first time this season. Adrian’s special teams struggled, too. After a three-and-out on their opening drive, the Maples had a punt blocked by Divine Child’s Gianni

Four downs from Mason football's dominant district final win over Fenton

MASON — Here is quick reaction from Mason football recording its first shutout of the season with a 49-0 victory over Fenton in a Division 3 district final on Friday, Nov. 6. Player of the game TROY PETERS, MASON: The junior added to what has been a big season with three touchdown runs. Peters had seven carries for 185 yards, which included a 25-yard touchdown run in the second quarter and scoring runs from 71 and 46 yards in the third quarter. Peters was one of two 100-yard rushers for the Bulldogs, who also had sophomore Jeffrey Reisner finish with six carries for 119 yards and a TD. Key moment Trailing 14-0, Fenton opted to go for it on fourth-and-4 from the Mason 15-yard line with just under 5 minutes to play in the opening quarter. The Tigers failed to convert on fourth down for the second straight drive — they had a fake punt pass attempt intercepted by Brett Camp — and Mason turned it into points when Gerrit Koot connected with Gavin Greathouse for a 22-yard TD with 1:39 left in the first quarter. That scored pushed Mason's lead to 21-0. What it means Mason captured its sixth
