MHSAA Football Week Two Results
Another exciting week of football has come and gone. The games were great and the weather was nice as well! As the leaves start to turn shades of orange, red, and yellow, football players start turning black and blue. It’s a rough sport and you have to be tough to excel. Some players this week excelled. Others were a bit stuck. Like Coach Dantonio says, keep improving every day, even if it’s only 2% better than the previous day. Let’s get into the results from the games this past Friday.
Grand Rapids
Muskegon Oakridge 41 Montague 14

Capital Area
Mason 36 Eaton Rapids 0
According to Eaton Rapids head coach Mike Smith, everything that could go wrong for the greyhounds, went wrong. Mason was bigger and dominated the line of scrimmage. Mason coach Jerry VanHavel gave Eaton Rapids some credit though. He said the ER kids played hard, but they physically outmanned them. Mason’s Hunter Holbrook scored four touchdowns on runs of 56, two, two, and three yards. Marshal Hyden had an interception in the end zone to stop an Eaton Rapids drive. He also grabbed a pass and went 55 yards for a score. Sorry, couldn’t find any stats for Eaton Rapids.
