By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (August 12, 2022 10:39 AM) The Homer High School varsity football team has made the Michigan High School Athletic Association playoffs for four consecutive seasons. The Trojans would like to add a fifth. Homer finished the regular season with a 5-4 record – earning its ninth MHSAA playoff appearance in 10 seasons. Head Coach Brett Vernon said the Trojans need to be ready for power teams – during the regular season and the playoffs. “We have been deficient in the past when teams run power football,” Vernon said during the JTV Media Day. “We need to stand up, have grit, and defend against those teams.” The Trojans didn’t struggle on offense, scoring 40 or more points in four of 10 games in 2022.

The news came down about four hours before game time. “Our girls have been wearing a t-shirt that says unfinished business … that unfinished business starts Wednesday,” WHS Coach Gina Fortress said. “We have been shooting for Wednesday night for a long time.” Fortress said the team held out hope all last spring hoping to be able to play Marshall – an Interstate-8 Conference opponent they beat twice during the regular…
