High School Sports

The home stretch of the six-week High School Football sprint of 2020 has arrived this week with several quality games on the schedule.

There are two weeks remaining in the High School Football regular season and it is time to look at where teams sit if the playoffs began this week in the Battle Creek area.

Records during a season can be beneficial to a team to show how solid of a program is during any season. With rivalry games like our Game of the Night on WBCK, the statement of "throwing out the record books" reigned true again this year.

The Battle Creek Central Bearcats have had good success against Gull Lake since the Blue Devils joined the Southwest Michigan Athletic Conference. One thing that has been consistent is the physical play the two squads exude on the gridiron in the past eight seasons.

The 2020 High School Football season, through an unexpected return to this fall and shortened, has had its challenges through the first few weeks.

The anticipation of a new nickname for the Paw Paw Public Schools athletics teams has inched one step closer following the June 22nd announcement of the recommended name from the school's task force.

Since the announcement earlier this year of an identity change for the athletic teams at Paw Paw Public Schools, select students have been working on narrowing down the selections for a new mascot.

It seems strange to talk and write about High School Football in Michigan when it's four months away. But with planning for a new format for the upcoming (hopefully) session and postseason for the 2020 campaign, what better time to put the details out now.

The final night of the regular season for the almost all of the Michigan High School Athletic Association teams took place Thursday with several non-conference battles that prepped the teams for Districts next week.

The Michigan High School Athletic Association's Girls Basketball Districts kick off this week across the state with several city and area squads vying for this season's state titles.
