After first playoff win, Columbia football seeking revenge against Blissfield
By Mike Moore Staff Writer Brooklyn — Last weekend was about history, a step taken that had never been taken before. This weekend is about more of the same — and a little revenge. The Columbia Central football team had made the state playoffs five times before last Friday’s Division 6 pre-district contest against Ecorse. And all five times the Golden Eagles were at home watching in the district final round. Not this time. “It was a good game, and a good win,” coach Josh Kubiak said of a 24-0 victory, the first postseason win in program history. “Our defense had been struggling, but we got an Ecorse team with some great athletes that couldn’t get organized. We played a great game.” The reward is a chance at the first district title in program history Friday night at home against Blissfield, a conference foe and very familiar opponent. “I think all the pressure is on them,” Kubiak said of Blissfield, which comes in at 6-4 and beat Columbia 25-14 in Week 5. “We don’t mind playing a team again. They know us. We know them. There’s no surprises. There’s no scrambling to get…

Football playoff field set, local teams ready for action
By Mike Moore Photo by Ryan Kerwin, JTV Sports Staff Writer When the football season begins, teams from across the state have hopes and dreams about a long run to Ford Field and a chance at a state title. When the regular season ends, well, reality has a strong way of showing up. But, for 256 teams, the hopes for one of those eight state titles, and 16 spots in Detroit, remains alive and well. Here’s a quick look at the teams in JTV’s coverage area and their first-round playoff pairings. Exact times and dates for games will be made available Monday or Tuesday, at the latest. Let the fun begin Lumen Christi rolled to another state title last year, and begins its title defense at home against Quincy this weekend in a Division 6 opener. The Titans went 7-1 in their eight-game schedule, and will host a Quincy team that went 5-4 and is in the playoffs for just the second time (2014) since 2005. Quincy’s last playoff appearance ended abruptly in a 53-16 loss to, well, Lumen. The Lumen-Quincy winner will take…
Home playoff game on the line as Columbia looks to upend Hillsdale
By Mike Moore Photo by Ryan Kerwin, JTV Sports Staff Writer Brooklyn — A playoff spot secure, the Columbia Central football team is trying to get a bit greedy now. And why not? Come Sunday night we’ll know where the 256 playoff teams fall, but Golden Eagles’ coach Josh Kubiak is fairly certain his guys could be playing at home in the pre-regional round. If, if they find a way to win Friday night at Hillsdale. “We’re going to have to match their urgency,” Kubiak said of the Hornets, who are 4-4 and will have a decent shot at making the tournament with five wins. “They are in a spot where they absolutely have to win, so we know they are going to be ready to go.” The need to win is one thing, but Hillsdale is also seeking some needed revenge. The Hornets lost to Columbia 29-28 in last year’s finale, officially ending their playoff hopes. In 2015, Columbia snuck away with a 26-22 victory. “I think it’s fair…
