Marine City last won a state title in 2007..They lost a title in 2011. they are a darn good football program. Points for/against stand at 508/245 and their playoff push was anything but easy winning verses a good Sexton team yesterday 12-7.. They have 1 team shutout..

GRSC is a team I know well and I am sorry to say I do not like.. They are only 5 miles from Byron Center and pull kids from all around GR.. Oh well a different debate.
They do have a great QB.. This kid is really good.. They ran off 7 in a row to a d-4 title last year and have had no trouble in this years playoffs. Points for/against are at
445/242 and they have zero shutouts this season..

Prediction

Defending champs made a fantastic run last year and I think they will go back to back in another private verses public battle.. Marine City surprised me with that win verses Sexton but I think SC will pull way for a 10 point win... (Hope not)...LOL
