Cass City came out firing, scoring on the opening kickoff and staved off a Cardinal push to finish the regular season with a victory, 35-12 over Michigan Lutheran Seminary.

Mason Gniewek returned the game's opening kick for 85 yards in the endzone and set the tone early. It would become a 20-0 lead quickly into the second quarter before MLS was able to score for the first time. Just when it felt that the Cardinals were starting to gain momentum, their drive was stopped by the Red Hawk defense at the one-yard line as the first half's time expired.

Will Perry led the way for Cass City with 16 carries for 130 yards and a touchdown, as well as one reception for 14 yards. On defense, he finished with four tackles, including one for a loss. Ryker Wallace added 94 yards on 20 totes and one score, while quarterback Braxton Kolacz found the endzone once on a nine-carry night for three total yards. Through the air, Kolacz added 23 yards on two of three passing, with a nine-yard touchdown reception brought in by Carson Anthes.

With the win, Cass City finishes the regular season at 6-3 and secures its place in the Division 07 playoff field. The MHSAA Playoff selections will be announced on Sunday, October 27 at 4:30pm.
