Elk Rapids

We haven't really played a lot of common teams.

I think Elk Rapids and Grinning are the only common teams.

The scores were comparable.

This is a huge rivalry game.

Cadillac moves on after getting a revenge victory over Marquette 31-19.

Kingsley defeated Mason County Central 63-22.

Sanford Meridian defeated Elk Rapids 21-0.

Gladwin defeated Harbor Springs 40-19.

At least one.

So Elk Rapids is the lone team as they took down Whitehall 3-0.

And Muskegon Western Michigan Catholic defeated the defending champs in Division IV 1-0.

Close game there for Leland.

Tonight, Petoskey will be at Mount Pleasant, and Cadillac will take on Marquette.

In Division 6, Kingsley will take on Mason County Central, and tomorrow, TC St. Francis will play Calumet at 1 o'clock.

Elk Rapids will be at Sanford Meridian tonight, as well as Harbor Springs at Gladwin.

And in Division 7, Manistee will host Manton.

East Kentwood will take on T.C. West.

Whitehall will take on Elk Rapids.

And reigning champions from last year, Leland, will take on Muskegon Western Michigan Christian.

All these games kick off at 6 o'clock.

Traverse City West will advance to regional finals after they beat Grand Haven in regional semis yesterday 3-1.

Elk Rapids continues their winning ways as they got a regional semifinals win 3-0 against Freeland.

But the Harbor Springs Rams saw their soccer season come to an end after they fell to Leland in Division 4 regional semis 4-0.

And the girls high school volleyball regular season is just about wrapped up with local teams playing their final games before playoffs begin next week.

Not quite yet, though.

Regional semifinals have come and gone for soccer as TC West took down Grand Haven 3-1.

Elk Rapids will move on over Freeland 3-0.

And Leland, the defending champions of Division 4, took down Harbor Springs 4-0 to

And Lake City defeated Leroy Pine River 3-0.

And tonight, regional semifinals are going to be starting here just in a few minutes as Elk Rapids will take on Freeland just at the top of this hour.

Harbor Springs will take on Leland at 7 o'clock.

And TC West will take on Grand Haven at 7.30. And for volleyball matchups tonight, currently underway is Johannesburg-Lewiston and Alcona, Gaylord-St. Mary and Maple City-Glenn Lake, Pelston and Sheboygan, and coming up at 6.30 is Cadillac and Alpena, Gaylord and T.C. West, and at 7 is Benzie Central and Elk Rapids, Frankfurt and Lake Leelanau-St. Mary, Houghton Lake and McBain-Northern Michigan-Christian, and Mancelona and Grayling, and at 7.30 is Hillman at Tawas.

Well, in soccer, as it is the lone playoffs that are already underway, football will be kicking off soon, but Northern Michigan is guaranteed to have at least one team left locally as Harbor Springs and Leland, as Austin said, will be playing each other.

So even if Elk Rapids and T.C. West lose, there will be a local rooting interest heading to, I think it would be the regional finals? The regional final.

All right.

Well, we'll check in with that tomorrow.

They took down East Jordan, another good program, 34-29.

Elk Rapids is as dominant as ever as they defeated Kalkaska, 28-8.

Oscoda defeated Frankfurt, 22-14.

Gaylord defeated Croswell-Lexington.

And over the weekend, there were two district finals matchups in soccer.

Harbor Springs advances to the regional final or regional quarterfinal, I should say, 5-1 over Charlevoix.

And Elk Rapids defeated Kingsford 5-0 to advance.

And there was one volleyball match.

That's going to be a good game, I can tell you that.

Elk Rapids and Kalkaska, Frankfurt and Oscoda, Gaylord will host Croswell-Lexington, Cadillac will be traveling south to Greenville, Kingsley will hit the road and they'll take on Hazlitt, Johannesburg-Lewiston will take on Manton, Lake City will be hosting Mason County Central, Mancelona will take on Benzie Central, McBain will host Fowler, Grayling will take on Shepard at Shepard, Tawas will host Maple City-Glenn Lake, TC Central will take on TC West in the annual Patriot game.

That's going to be another good one, ladies and gentlemen.

You do not want to miss that one.

That kicked off at 5 o'clock.

Harbor Springs looking to get back into a deep playoff run, while Charlevoix is trying to spoil that.

And tomorrow at 2 o'clock, Elk Rapids, who we've kind of mentioned once or twice on this show.

Very

East Jordan Public, 973.

Elk Rapids Public, 1068.

Engadine Consolidated, 842.

Excelsior District 1 was not published.

Eight were above, one was equal to, and 29 were below the national average of 1029.

Two were above, and 36 were below the average score of an admitted college student.

The highest score in northern Michigan belongs to Elk Rapids at 1068.

The lowest belongs to Engadine Consolidated at 842.

So a busy weekend.

How are you going to get up here to train Elk Rapids before their playoff run here?

Yeah, it's going to be tough, man.

I'll send I'll see if I can send Dylan up there.

As we talk about all your sacrifices you make.

And you know what? And ironically, like my brain is saying, What time are my kids softballs? Could I get to Harbor and back to Canton by whatever? Like I'm still trying to find a way to make it work, even though my wife would absolutely kill me.

But even though my wife would absolutely kill me, but my brain is still like, how do I make it work? Because I do enjoy it so much that driving up to Elk Rapids and working with them for a two hour session and then driving three and a half hours home, is not out of my brain.

Like I was like, can I make this work? How do I do this? How do I get there? What time could we do it and be back? Because That would be fun for me.
