Lumen football season comes to a close in 49-20 loss to Clinton in D-6 regional final By Mike Moore Staff Writer Clinton – In the days leading up to his team’s Division 6 regional final, Herb Brogan said his guys hadn’t faced a team like Clinton High all year. His defense certainly hadn’t seen a backfield duo like Matt Sexton and Noah Poore. And it’ll be just fine if it never does again. Sexton and Poore combined for 361 yards on the ground, alone, as Clinton rolled to a 49-20 victory Friday night at home, ending Lumen Christi’s season two wins shy of Ford Field. “We saw a lot of good backs this year, but these guys could play with anybody,” Brogan said simply afterwards. Lumen took its opening drive right down the field, only to stall out and turn the ball over on downs at the 25-yard line. On Clinton’s first offensive play, Poore sprinted 75 yards for the opening score and a 6-0 lead after a failed conversion attempt.

After years of struggling, Jackson reestablished football tradition in 2015 By Mike Moore Staff Writer Jackson – There came a time when something had to change, a moment where this trend of suffering and forgettable moments, had to be dismissed. Since reaching the playoffs in 2009, the Jackson High football program had been coasting downhill, like, Clark Griswold on a greased up sled speeding downhill. A year after making the playoffs the Vikings went 3-6. That was followed by 1-8, 0-9, 2-7 and 1-8. And then, at last, came 2015. “Truthfully, I expected a very good year,” coach Scott Farley said earlier this week while reflecting on the season. “We knew we had good guys coming back. We had some character guys, guys that put a lot of work into making this better.” And did they ever. Following last weekend’s loss to Livonia Franklin in the district final, the Vikings closed the fall with an 8-3 record. Again, that’s after going 7-38 in the five previous seasons. “As far as building the program back up, it was important to have a year like this,” Farley stressed. “The kids needed to see that if they did what we asked, we could…
