Bradley Commits Early to U of M Baseball
By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (September 3, 2023 8:00 AM ET) Just a year out of middle school, Napoleon High School athlete Grant Bradley received a phone call that changed his life. The University of Michigan baseball team was interested in talking to him about a baseball scholarship. Bradley was just headed into 10th grade at the time. But the best thing about the situation was Bradley didn’t let it affect him playing other sports. He is the star quarterback on the football team and a member of the conference-winning basketball squad. He enjoys competing in three sports for the Pirates. “I was encouraged not to play football this fall by people I train with,” Bradley said. “But U of M encouraged me to play because they like multi-sport athletes.” Bradley signed a verbal agreement to play baseball with the Wolverines and is expected to sign sometime this fall. The Pirates are certainly glad the senior is on the football squad. He set a school record with 352 yards in a whacky 29-28 win over Onsted to start the season. Bradley was also 9-of-10 throwing the football for more than 200 yards against Columbia Central. Napoleon is 2-0 this season…

Streaks Continue for a Couple of Local Football Teams By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (September 2, 2023 8:57 AM ET) The only thing that cooled down for a pair of local teams was the temperature on Thursday night. Temperatures were in the high 80s to begin the season last week but in the 60s late in the games Thursday. Lumen Christi and Napoleon's high school varsity football teams continued their winning ways. The Titans have won 13 consecutive games dating back to last year while the Pirates have won 14-of-15 games. Both teams met in the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 7 state semifinals last November. Here are the results from Jackson area teams with most teams playing on Thursday to get a jump on the holiday weekend. Napoleon 42, Columbia Central 14: Napoleon High School continued its winning ways with a rivalry win on the road. This time it is a Cascades Conference win – Napoleon’s 14th win in the last 15 games. Grant Bradley was 9-for-10 passing for 203 yards and three touchdowns. Holden Van Poppel caught six passes for 140 yards and two scores. Mason Roth finished with 90 rushing yards and two second-half touchdowns. Defensively…
