Pewamo-Westphalia absolutely blew the doors off Perry last night, racking up a ridiculous 61-6 win thanks to a defensive and special teams clinic. Seriously, Hayden Smith wasn’t just making tackles, he was flat out owning the field, returning *both* a fumble and an interception for a score! Liam Piggott even got in on the interception return touchdown action, and Tyler Huhn took a punt return to the house. That’s three non-offensive touchdowns in one game, my friend, and it set the tone for an unbelievable night. Luke Nurenberg even threw a TD and ran for two more. P-W is coming for everything!
The Perfect Squads Are Heating Up Early
But P-W wasn’t the only squad still rocking that undefeated record. Mason is sitting pretty at 3-0 after taking down Haslett 20-7 to kick off their CAAC Red play. Quarterback Gerrit Koot was slinging it, going 13-of-21 for 193 yards and two absolute dimes for touchdowns. Logan Davis snagged one of those for 74 yards, and Gavin Greathouse got in on the action too. And can we talk about that Mason defense? Brett Camp had nine tackles and Frankie Trigo not only had five tackles but also snagged a crucial interception. Talk about a complete team effort!
Unbelievable Individual Performances Setting the Pace
Lakewood, another perfect 3-0 team, put on a show themselves, crushing Charlotte 42-14 on the road. Michael Goodemoot was literally everywhere for the Vikings, leading them with a team-high 83 rushing yards and *three* touchdowns on offense, then turning around and making 11 tackles on defense. Are you kidding me? That’s just pure beast mode. Max Thrun threw for 154 yards and three scores, but the real wild card was Bubby Wilkins, who hauled in two receiving touchdowns AND grabbed two interceptions on defense. Seriously, two receiving TDs AND two INTs? That’s just next level playmaking that can change a whole season. Bryer Poll added a touchdown to round out that explosive offense.
Portland is also staying perfect, grinding out a tough 28-21 CAAC White victory over Olivet. Carson Spenski was a beast for them, rushing for a team-best 93 yards on 14 carries and punching in a touchdown. That’s the kind of gritty, hard-fought performance you need when the game is tight, and it shows they can win in a dogfight. We also saw some insane offensive fireworks elsewhere. Leslie exploded for a 48-8 win behind Joel Cranmore’s three touchdown passes and Patrick Friese running for *four* touchdowns! Braydin Johnson had 107 receiving yards and three TDs. And don’t forget Alma’s Penn Seeley, who returned a kickoff for a TD, rushed for another, and threw two more scores. Talk about doing it all!
These early season results are telling us a lot about who’s for real. Mason, Portland, Lakewood, and Pewamo-Westphalia are all making statements, sending a clear message they’re here to compete for something big. Every game now, especially those conference matchups, is absolutely massive as these teams fight to keep that zero in the loss column and build momentum. Can they maintain this insane pace? The pressure’s on, but these squads are showing they’ve got the talent and heart. We’re about to find out who truly has the grit, and you know I’ll be locked in for every single snap.
