Northern Michigan playoff teams thinning, but more winners ahead | Kochanny

Well, we’re running out of teams. The field to pick from around northern Michigan is thinning, which, if you’ve got a team left, that’s something to be proud of. Emmet County is officially out of the 2026 football season, while Charlevoix Country still has a pair left. We saw some upsets and surprises take place a week ago, though we also saw a lot of favorites do what was expected. Though we don’t have as many games – which is of course expected – we’ve got some games to really look forward to ahead this Friday and Saturday. I won’t keep you from the picks here, but I’ll say I went 4-3 last week and I’m now 53-16 for the season. I warned you that they’re getting harder. That’ll hold true again this week. DIVISION 7 Harrison (8-2) at Charlevoix (7-2) Charlevoix has a shot at its first-ever district championship. They’ve been in this spot before in recent years, but they just haven’t finished the job. Three of those previous district title clashes came against Upper Peninsula powers, so this is a change for them. Harrison brings in a loaded offense that’s averaged over 43 points a game and scored

2026 MHSAA football district final kickoff times, locations

The second week of the 2026 Michigan high school football playoffs is loaded with state championship-level matchups. But instead of playing for a wooden mitten at Ford Field, teams will hit the road to play for a district championship trophy on high school football fields. New seeding changes and a good start for most favorites mean the rest of the playoffs will be filled with heavy-hitting matchups each week until the champions are decided on Nov. 27 and 28. And no matter where you are, high school football will be some of the best football readily available to residents this week. The prep games should be more entertaining than the struggle-fest expected between U-M and MSU in Ann Arbor on Saturday night , and the Lions are in Miami on Sunday. Division II will be fun, though: Defending national champ Ferris State plays Wayne State in Detroit; undefeated Northwood is at home; Michigan Tech hosts Davenport in a ranked matchup; and Grand Valley State hosts Northern Michigan. Watch some good football first and don't let the Spartans or Wolverines dampen the mood on Saturday night. If it ends up as Tommy Carr vs. Kayd Coffman, the top two high school

Petoskey advances in Gaylord, gets some luck for Thursday's final

GAYLORD — Monday came as another measuring stick night for the Petoskey volleyball team. Having met Gaylord twice already this season, a third matchup came Monday night in Gaylord with the season on the line in their Division 1 district tournament. And, Petoskey’s progress showed out once again. After winning a five-set match in September, then going to four sets in a win in October, Petoskey showed up to Gaylord’s Jim Mongeau Gymnasium with a three-set sweep. Petoskey claimed wins of 25-19, 25-18 and then saved their best for last with a 25-14 victory. While Petoskey took care of its business on the court against Gaylord, they also caught a bit of luck on the night. On the other side of the district bracket, Alpena pulled an upset victory over Marquette, awarding the district championship hosting opportunity to Petoskey in the process. A Marquette win would have brought Petoskey across the bridge. That match will come in a 6 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 5 final in the Petoskey High School gym. Petoskey’s last district title came back in 2024, though Thursday can bring just their third of the past 17 years. Petoskey's Lily Flynn: Petoskey's Lily Flynn embraced change and chance
