Semifinal scores.
Menominee 23, Frankenmuth 20.

Before playoffs started I predicted this matchup.

Menominee (12-1) vs Grand Rapids West Catholic (11-2)

Menominee is 411-199-5 all-time since 1954. they are the Upper Peninsula power house and they are 1-0 in class BB title games, and 2-1 in division 5 title games for a 3-1 overall record in championships. They are 1-6 all times verses West Catholic all in the playoffs. they won in 2007 but have lost all 6 including a title game since from 2010 to 2015.
GRWC is 354-182-5 since 1963 and they are a private school from Grand Rapids that is just so freaking good. They are 0-1 in B final games, and 4-1 in division 5 title games since 2010 which includes now three in a row. Giving them a 4-2 overall record in final games.
Again the team from up north just does not play as hard of a schedule as West Catholic, and when the did schedule Dewitt in the regular season they were thumped 48-14. Classic defense verses a high scoring offense. If you get a chance to watch i think the Maroons still run the single Wing. Im really hoping for a upset by Menominee but any bookmaker would favor GRWC by 7.

The maroons have 5 turnovers in first half and trail 29-0 at half.

7 turnovers doom Menomonie . West Catholic wins it's 4th title in a row and 5th in six years. Both teams end up at 12 -2 on the season..
