Lumen and Coldwater, both 4-1, set to meet as Titans can clinch playoff spot
By Mike Moore Staff Writer Photo: Ryan Kerwin, JTV Jackson — The playoffs are officially on the line. Yes, that’s a bit dramatic as the sixth week of the MHSAA football season is just a day away, but for the Lumen Christi squad, it’s also true. Scheduled to play just eight regular season games this fall, the Titans, 4-1 through five games, can officially secure a spot in the 2017 postseason with a win Friday night over Coldwater.

We’ve had guys miss a week. To be honest, we haven’t played a complete game yet, and we’re still 3-1. That says a lot about this team.” Yet, as Kubiak spoke, he was very blunt about last weekend’s 46-38 win and this weekend’s home date with Blissfield. “This game is a huge opportunity for us,” Kubiak said. “Last week was the first time we’ve ever beaten Ida, but if we don’t turn around and win this week, that win means nothing.
