GVSU's Kellen Reed gives masterful final performance at Lubbers Stadium in win over Northern

ALLENDALE - Kellen Reed is a showman. The Grand Valley State wide receiver seems to have more fun with his touchdown celebrations than he does actually scoring the ball. Reed caught three first-half touchdown passes on Saturday afternoon as GVSU crushed Northern Michigan University 61-14 in front of 9,122 fans at Lubbers Stadium. “He comes up with new celebrations every week,” quarterback Andrew Schuster said. “He scores a lot of touchdowns, so that was a lot of fun to see him celebrate like that.” More: GVSU football snaps three-game skid with big road win over Roosevelt Reed, a 5-foot-10 senior from Holt, Mich., caught a 10-yard touchdown in the first quarter and did a backflip in the end zone and finished with a Spiderman pose. Then in the second quarter, his 19-yard score carried his momentum toward the goal post. So he jumped on the post and gave it a bearhug. “That dude is a player,” backup quarterback Zak Olejniczak said. “And there’s going to be NFL scouts coming to look for him, I can promise you that.” Reed now has 78 catches for 1,242 yards and 22 touchdowns. He now leads the nation in all three of those categories

Calvin football stuns Hope for historic first win in The Rivalry to clinch MIAA title share

GRAND RAPIDS - The Rivalry has been the best NCAA Division III basketball rivalry in the country for more than a century. Football has joined The Rivalry for the first time. Sure it is the third game that Hope and Calvin have played, but with the Knights starting a program just three years ago, it took a couple years to get up to speed, and get a home stadium. Both teams came into the clash undefeated and tied for first place in the MIAA and the game lived up to the anticipation. Tied to start the fourth quarter, Calvin's Luke Michmerhuizen caught two long touchdown passes the No. 20 Knights hung on for their first win in the rivalry 38-24 over No. 9 Hope on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Calvin's brand-new Knight Stadium.
