Football Finals updated

February 16, 2012

Check out our updated Championship Game records with everything from the 2011 Finals, including our first categories for 8-player football.

Among things that stick out from this past season's games:

  • The Division 5 Flint Powers Catholic/Lansing Catholic game easily provided the most entries from this season and stacks up among the MHSAA's most offense-heavy Finals ever.
  • Orchard Lake St. Mary and Saginaw Nouvel had two of the best running games in Finals history.
  • Former Ithaca quarterback Alex Niznak is all over the record book for his accomplishments in the 2010 Division 6 Final. But last season's QB Travis Smith now has nearly as significant a presence after a big-time 2011 performance.

Click Record Book, and let me know at the end of the day if I've missed something. Make sure to click on "Championship Game Records." Additional updates to regular-season and career lists are on the way.
