The Clinton Township Chippewa Valley football team is no stranger to success. Entering the playoffs for a 10th-straight season and winners of the 2018 Division 1 state championship, Chippewa Valley has seen its fair share of talent come through its program. Despite numerous All-State and NCAA-caliber players that have put on a Big Reds uniform, the Chippewa Valley program has never had a running back quite like Cephus Harris III. After all, he has done things this season that no running back has ever done in school history.

In front of a homecoming crowd Friday night, the Grosse Pointe South Blue Devils football team treated fans to a game that rarely had a dull moment. Facing off

West Bloomfield (4-1)After beating Lake Orion last week, the Lakers are on a four game win streak. Now West Bloomfield faces one of its toughest challenges of the season when it hosts Clarkston on Friday night. Up next is a trip into hostile territory as the Wolves take on West Bloomfield in a battle of the OAA Red’s top two teams. Detroit Martin Luther King (4-1)King got a week off from competition after Detroit Western International forfeited last week’s schedule matchup. West Bloomfield (4-1)5.

After going 11-5 with my picks last week, I will be more than thrilled to have a similar record this week. There are so many good and potentially close matchups that this week could be very good for me or very bad. Dearborn Fordson (4-0) vs Belleville (3-1), 7:00 PMSince joining the KLAA in 2018, Fordson has lost just four games in league play. PURCELL’S PICK: Chippewa Valley 21, Romeo 21Allen Park (4-0) vs Brownstown Woodhaven (4-0), 7:00 PMThis game will decide who will be the last unbeaten team standing in the Downriver League. PURCELL’S PICK: Lakeland 31, South Lyon 28Detroit Catholic Central (3-1) vs Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice (3-1), Sunday 1:00 PMIt’s Boy’s Bowl weekend and these two team meet on Sunday in a pivotal CHSL Central Division matchup.

The 2021 high school football season has crossed the median, and that means that games are becoming more vital than ever. While most MAC Red teams have been impressive offensively -- like Chippewa Valley -- Romeo has given up just 31 points in four games. A win for the Bucs would put them in a great position to contend for the league title. The winner of this matchup will be the favorite to take home the league title. Dow (3-1) is in must-win mode in its Saginaw Valley League North title quest.

Considering what Chippewa Valley senior running back Cephus Harris has done through three games, it is difficult to argue against Merchant’s claim. Just last week, Harris set the new Chippewa Valley single-game record with 300 rushing yards in a 28-21 win over Utica Eisenhower. “He’s just an all-around great football player,” Merchant said. I was more focused on winning the game.”Harris describes himself as an explosive, high-IQ football player who is very aware of his surrounding at all times. “I treat every game like it’s Dakota or it’s my last game, or a championship game or playoff game,” Harris said.

After going 14-3 with picks in Week 2, things were a bit more modest in Week 3 as I went 9-5. Sure, I could have been way worse, but I want to get into a groove with double-digit correct picks on a weekly basis. This is a fierce rivalry and Chippewa Valley (3-0) is looking to avenge its 29-20 loss to Dakota last year. PURCELL’S PICK: Chippwea Valley 21, Dakota 14Waterford Mott at White Lake LakelandFriday, 7 p.m. Before Lakeland’s forfeit victory over Walled Lake Western last week, the Eagles (3-0) had scored 97 points in its first two games.

Fall is fast approaching, and that means the highly anticipated start of football season has finally arrived. Game two of Wayne State’s Xenith Prep Kickoff Classic Thursday night featured the Chippewa Valley Big Reds and the Detroit Catholic Central Shamrocks.

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- The Grosse Pointe South boys and girls track and field teams teams each picked up victories over Clinton Township Chippewa Valley on Tuesday as athletes dealt with all types of weather over the course of the meet. With extend periods of sunshine interrupted by various pockets of wind and rain, the typical spring day did not hinder the South boys from claiming an 85-52 victory and the South girls from an 83.5-53.5 victory. South sophomore Selga Jansons also had an outstanding individual day with victories in the 100, 200, 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles. The Chippewa Valley girls 4x100 and 4x200 teams edged out Grosse Pointe South in a close race. South boys and girls each improve to 4-1 in the MAC Red standings while Chippewa Valley’s boys and girls each fall to 2-3 in division action.

The Metro Detroit Player of the Week poll saw over 4,500 votes this week as two freshman collected the most votes. Clinton Township Chippewa Valley track and field freshman sprinter Shamar Heard collected 2,040 votes to claim the top spot and Player of the Week honors. His vote total edged out the 1,229 votes collected by Bloomfield Hills Marian freshman soccer player Elle Ervin in second place. Here are the full results of this week’s poll. Come back each Monday for a new Metro Detroit Player of the Week fan poll.

Victories over Chippewa Valley, Utica Stevenson and Utica Ford helped the Blue Devils improve to 5-1 on the season. The Blue Devils edged out a close 61-59 win over Chippewa Valley last Tuesday, overcoming a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter. The third straight win for the Blue Devils came Monday night 69-64 over Utica Ford. One thing that has stood out to Coach Benard during his team’s win streak is increased ball movement. His team recorded a season-high 15 assists in the game against Utica Stevenson, a performance he hopes to keep building on.

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Parents are pushing for a recall of four Chippewa Valley Schools Board of Education members over decisions related to in-person learning. It targets Board President Frank Bednard, Vice President Denise Aquino and trustees Beth Pyden and George Sobah. Parents who support the recall said the issue is the lack of in-person options for students -- a frustration that goes back to last August when Chippewa Valley Schools went completely virtual. Since the recall language has been approved and neighboring districts have moved to offer greater in-person choices, a letter went home to parents advising them that Chippewa Valley will discuss implementing more in-person options next week. “Dakota High School is the biggest high school in the state right now and Chippewa Valley is right behind it, so we have special challenges we need to overcome when we have that many children,” he said.

The Clinton Township Chippewa Valley football team was set to end its shortened season in style, closing the regular season this Friday night against Detroit Martin Luther King. Instead, Chippewa Valley will not be on the field this week after a player in its program tested positive for coronavirus. It was also supposed to be senior night, and Chippewa Valley sent to honor their seniors one last time on its home field. “I just feel bad,” Chippewa Valley coach Scott Merchant said. Chippewa Valley is currently 2-3 and has not missed a game because of the coronavirus until this week.

The high school football regular season finale between Clinton Township Chippewa Valley and Detroit Martin Luther King will not be played this week after one player on Chippewa Valley tested positive for coronavirus. Chippewa Valley athletic director Dr. Adam Schihl confirmed the information with MLive, mentioning they found out about the player testing positive on Monday night. “We cannot be certain of who the young man was around the whole way through, so we had to quarantine everybody,” Schihl said. As it currently stands, Schihl mentioned Chippewa Valley’s playoff opening game will not be affected as the team is expected to end quarantine on Saturday, Oct. 24. Although Chippewa Valley is just 2-3 so far this season, it has been one of the best teams in the state in recent years.

CLINTON TWP., Mich. -- At halftime, it was a moral victory for Grosse Pointe South as it trailed Clinton Township Chippewa Valley, 14-0. “We had a rough first half,” Grosse Pointe South junior wide receiver Will Johnson admitted. Grosse Pointe South got the ball back on its own 37 with 8:21 left to play, trailing 17-14. “He’s a great kid and he’s just a workhorse on offense,” Grosse Pointe South coach Tim Brandon said of Sullivan. After South claimed its 21-17 lead late, South’s Max Gavagan intercepted a deflected Chippewa Valley pass on the ensuing drive, returning it to the Chippewa Valley 12.

Prep football playoff brackets already shaken upWho could have seen all this coming in the first round of the state high school football playoffs? This year’s first round will likely always be remembered for the number of stunning upsets that took place this past weekend. Oak Park, one of the favorites in Division 2 that was littered with future college players, lost to Farmington, 12-6. The only division still with a chance of a repeat champion is Division 8, where Reading is still playing. Qualifying for a bowl and playing for a title in November is terrific turnaround for a CMU program that won one game last year.

I went to Chippewa Valley to do a preview story with Head Coach Scott Merchant and the Big Reds a week earlier. I went out to Warren and talked with Head Coach Mike Giannone and the Pilots. De La Salle didnt help themselves when they fumbled on their first possession. De La Salle lost 41-7. He happens to be the Head Coach at West Bloomfield, the top team in the state.

DETROIT – The high school football season officially ended on Saturday with the final four state championships being decided at Ford Field.
