Harbor Springs girls, Charlevoix boys keep stronghold on NSC cross country

CHARLEVOIX — It takes a lot of different components coming together to win a conference championship. Some teams just have the recipe figured out better than most. And when it comes to cross country, Charlevoix and Harbor Springs always seem to be mixing the right ingredients. While the conferences might change, the Rams and Rayders stay consistent on course and they showed it once again this past weekend with a pair of championship performances on course in Charlevoix. The Harbor Springs girls pulled in a victory by just three points over Charlevoix, then the Rayder boys ran away with a title on the other side. The victory for Harbor’s girls came as a third consecutive within the Northern Shores Conference, which is in its third season of existence. The title is also the 11th overall for the Harbor girls as a program. “Our small team continues to work hard and squeaked out the win,” Harbor coach Emily Kloss said. “Charlevoix’s girls ran a great race. We knew they would be coming for us, as it was held on there turf. Hats off to both teams, it was a great race.” The Rams and Rayders each placed two girls inside the

High school football team starts celebrating, forgets one important detail on wild TD

For Aiden Adcock, a senior linebacker at Bay City Western (MI), a moment of distraction was all he needed to turn a moment of brief celebration into a lead-grabbing touchdown. While the Warriors celebrated a blocked Traverse City West (MI) field goal , Adcock didn’t miss a beat, scooping the ball up and keeping his eyes downfield. He was almost past the 50-yard line by the time the Titans realized he was breaking away, and by then was cruising on enough of a buffer to take it 79 yards and give Bay City Western a slim, 13-12 lead in the third quarter. More: Meet the 2026 USA TODAY Sports Midseason All-America High School Football Team Watch Aiden Adcock's play here: Bay City Western wasn't able to hang on to the lead, eventually falling 27-26 on a missed extra point and a late Traverse City West touchdown. The Warriors have had a hot-and-cold first half of the season, sitting at 3-4 heading into Friday night’s clash with Traverse City West.

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. While they needed to play a ground and pound style to secure the points offensively, it was all about that defense for the Rayders. “The run game came through when it needed to, but our defense was stout all night long,” Charlevoix coach Don Jess said. “The kids played with energy the whole game and we tried to not focus on the weather, just on doing our job with energy and passion.” Two who brought it again throughout the night were seniors Greyson Warchol and Landen Whisler at linebacker. Warchol finished with 13 tackles, one for a loss and a forced fumble, while Whisler had four tackles, three for a loss and a fumble recovery. “Greyson and Landon were just phenomenal,” Jess said. "They’re both really good football players. They’ve put in a ton
