- Huron's defense comes up with two goal-line stands in the fourth quarter to preserve a 22-14 win over Tecumseh.
- For the second consecutive year, four quarters wasn't enough to determine a winner between Adrian and Saline. In the first overtime, though, Saline settles for a field goal and Adrian capitalizes to win 34-31.
- Chelsea defensive lineman Ray Zielinski recovers three fumbles as the Bulldogs take advantage of Monroe turnovers in 31-20 victory.
- Despite Lincoln kick returner Rare Williams' 85-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, Bedford ends up running away to a 39-14 win.
- Milan picks up its first Huron League win in a 21-0 shutout of Riverview.
- Nyshaun Marks' two touchdown receptions, interception return for a touchdown and 5-for-5 extra point performance helps Willow Run in a 43-14 win over Adrian Madison.
THURSDAY
- Pioneer scores 42 points for the second week in a row, but this time gets a win in a 42-3 victory over Dexter.
- Austin Sanders runs for three scores (again) and the Ypsilanti defense records five sacks in a 36-0 shutout of Skyline.
- Manchester hadn't lost a Cascades Conference game since 2008, but after turning the ball over five times against Michigan Center, the Flying Dutchmen fell, 34-20.
- Every member of the Father Gabriel Richard team saw playing time in a 54-14 victory over an Albion squad that only dressed 18 players.
- The Perry High School football team hadn't won a game since 2007. That changed Thursday night when the Ramblers visited Whitmore Lake and picked up a 29-8 victory, snapping a 20-game losing streak.
