By Derek Devine JTV Sports (Grass Lake, MI) --Tonight’s premier Week 3 matchup between Michigan Center and Grass Lake gave a true feel that High School football is definitely back. And if a rematch that had been circled on the calendar for almost a year and a fifty-degree ball field weren’t already enough, the hard hitting, down-to-the-wire action was. Michigan Center held the Warrior offense to nothing on its first possession and forced a three and out. 73 yards later, the Cardinals found themselves up seven. Dylan Zaborowski scrambled and found Connor Brandt wide open in the end zone for a 7-yard score. They allowed one first down on their second defensive outing, and forced yet another Warrior punt. Grass Lake’s third possession wasn’t any more successful as Zaborowski showed skill on the defensive side of the ball with a leaping interception. Josh Padelt had some nice runs to help the drive move towards goal line, and Zaborowski eventually capped of a clock-eating drive to start the second quarter with a 5-yard touchdown run. On the next possession, Grass Lake finally found a rhythm with their running game. “It took awhile,” stated Coach Randy Cole, “but we put together a…
With a second straight impressive week at 10-2, Chucky Buckles proudly flaunts a 20-4 record after two weeks. Overall, that’s about 83% or a solid B- if he were back in school. MICHIGAN CENTER @ GRASS LAKE: In an act seldom seen at the high school level, the entire Cardinals team parachutes into the stadium before the game to avoid the traffic congestion for what should be the area’s premier regular season matchup. Center’s flare for the big play – especially on offense – gives them the edge. Drum roll please… PICK: MICHIGAN CENTER WESTERN @ LUMEN CHRISTI: Panther bus gets turned around and hopelessly lost on the new service road on their campus, causing fans to worry. Titan players offer to help, but only make it as far as McCarski’s Café before stopping for donut dots. PICK: LUMEN CHRISTI VANDERCOOK LAKE @ MANCHESTER : Vandy battle cry of ‘rock chalk Jayhawk’ is quickly silenced when they realize a Flying Dutchmen is an old, old pirate ghost ship that may or may not still be sailing the seven seas looking for a port. A spooky old ghost ship always wins. PICK: MANCHESTER HANOVER-HORTON @ ADDISON: The Comets are off…
Larry Jacobson, JTV Sports After Lumen Christi High School senior Angela Hubert signed her letter-of-intent to play basketball at Davenport University (near Grand Rapids) on Monday morning, there was one final item to take care of: Her senior year of high school. “I feel like I can really enjoy my senior year now,” Hubert said after the short ceremony with her parents, family and school administrators from both Davenport and Lumen Christi. “It’s a big relief to make the commitment and to be able to say it’s done. I’m really excited about this year and beyond.” Ironically, what Angela enjoyed about Lumen Christi is what attracted her to Davenport. “There’s a real feeling of family and community here at Lumen Christi – from the students to the faculty,” she said. “I’m going to miss that about Lumen Christi, but I got that same feeling about Davenport. It’s a great fit for me. I really like the whole coaching staff and the other players and I just felt at home there.” Hubert, who averaged just over 12 points a game and shot nearly 80% from the free throw line last year for the Titans, spent time at an open-gym session…

Derek W. Devine JTV Sports Jackson, MI The 2nd Annual Promise Bowl, which is not only a battle between rivals Jackson High and Lumen Christi, but an event to raise scholarship money for many students, kicked off on a warm Friday evening in front of a packed house at Dungy Field. It was a night where only two things were shining brighter then the first quarter sun; Vikings quarterback Javon Greca's cleats, and the Titans offense. Lumen Christi, the heavy favorite, has dominated the rivalry overall, and won the last 5 meetings by an average of 25 points per contest. However, new head Coach Scott Farley, and the Jackson Vikings were not going back down to the mighty Titans. Avoiding mistakes, and matching possessions with the powerhouse opponent were a must in order to keep the game manageable. Lumen got off to a hot start, with a quick stop, and an even quicker score when Khari Willis ran in for a touchdown. A slick onside kick got the Titans the ball back, and with less then half the field to work with, Willis and the Titans struck again, making it a 14-0 ball game. Willis ended the night with 114 rushing…
