Back in the Advertiser newsroom with a live “studio audience,” Scott and Landyn opened with a full rewind of last week’s Game of the Week—Reese’s overtime heartbreaker vs. Saginaw Michigan Lutheran Seminary (26–18). They broke down Steele Stricker’s two rushing TDs, Luke Messing’s pick-six, and a defensive ledger led by Beau Rasmussen (10 tackles), before pivoting to Week 9 stakes (Reese at Sandusky for playoff positioning). Mid-show, Scott soloed through a detailed rundown of cross country regionals at Harbor Beach/Wagener Park (D3/D4 schedule, traffic tips, favorites including Caro’s Luke Herron and Violet Tetil) and a marquee volleyball sweep: D2 No. 3 North Branch over No. 5 Imlay City, highlighted by Miss Volleyball finalist Aubrey Deshetsky (28 kills). The back half hit conference scoreboards, quirky banter (music takes, “pigskin profits” nostalgia), bold picks (Harbor Beach big; Cass City by two scores; USA by one possession), plus playoff projection talk spanning D7, D8, and 8-player brackets (Cass City-Laker rematch? Kingston-Brown City redux?). They closed by teeing up tonight’s broadcast: USA vs. Valley Lutheran.

Friday night’s WIDL 92.1 FM Game of the Week brought listeners a dramatic overtime showdown in Reese, where the Rockets fell 26-18 to Saginaw Michigan Lutheran Seminary in a nonconference battle that had all the makings of a classic.

Play-by-play announcer Scott Bolsby and color commentator Landyn Schott called the back-and-forth action as both teams traded momentum through regulation. Reese’s Steele Stricker provided the spark with a pair of rushing touchdowns on just seven carries, while Luke Messing electrified the home crowd with a fourth-quarter interception return for a score that tied the game at 18-18 and forced overtime.

In the extra frame, MLS’s Noah Reif muscled in from two yards out for the go-ahead touchdown. Reese’s offense had one last chance, but the Cardinals’ defense held strong, sealing the 26-18 final.

Defensively, Beau Rasmussen anchored the Rockets with 10 tackles, followed by Deegan Carter with nine. Tre Johnson, Preston Castle, and Messing each added seven stops in a gritty team effort.

The broadcast team highlighted Reese’s resilience and defensive tenacity despite the loss, noting the Rockets’ fight to the final whistle. Reese (4-4) now turns its focus to a crucial Week 9 matchup at Sandusky, where the Rockets will look to close out the regular season and secure a postseason berth.

Back in-studio for Week 8, Scott and Landyn opened with a full rewind of Kingston–Deckerville’s 8-player rivalry: flags, missed chances, Kingston’s second-half rally, and the tough postgame news on Eagles QB Ian Flanagan’s foot injury. They ran through Blue/Red/White conference scoreboards, circled Reese vs. Saginaw MLS as the Game of the Week, and spotlighted Caro’s late-season surge behind QB Mason Henry (222 yards, 4 TDs). The middle stretch mixed in sponsor reads and quick hits from volleyball and cross-country (including Cass City’s Jaden VanAuken hitting 2,000 career digs) plus Scott’s Big House sideline story and a milk-cow trivia aside. Closing segments looked at playoff projections (three-way title split: Laker/Millington/Cass City), BWAC snapshots, and a tongue-in-cheek “Rocket vs. Cardinal” mascot mini-bracket before a focused Reese–MLS pregame.

Announcers: Scott Bolsby & Landyn Schott

The WIDL 92.1 FM crew rolled into Sebewaing Township for the 32nd Annual Sugar Bowl — and fans were treated to a classic. Unionville-Sebewaing snapped a four-year losing streak to Reese with a 24-22 victory, grinding out the win behind a powerhouse rushing night from senior Brady Green.

Green carried the Patriots with 250 yards and two touchdowns on 40 carries, setting the tone early with a 14-yard score and adding a 22-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Quarterback Davis Peters added a 6-yard touchdown pass to Maddox Nitz just before halftime, while Nitz and DJ Harrison each recorded seven tackles on defense. Bryson Finkbeiner chipped in 40 rushing yards, three tackles and a key fumble recovery, with Gracy Bolzman and Kasen Fiebig adding four tackles apiece.

For Reese, Deegan Carter ran for 92 yards on 14 carries, Steele Stricker added 44 rushing yards, a 10-yard touchdown pass to Luke Messing, and a late scoring run that kept the Rockets in the game. But USA’s ground attack and clock control proved too much, as the Patriots secured their first Sugar Bowl victory since 2020 — sending their home crowd into celebration.

Announcers: Scott Bolsby & Landyn Schott

The WIDL broadcast team headed to Cass City for the annual M-81 Clash, where the Red Hawks extended their dominance over rival Caro with a 33-6 victory — their 13th straight in the series.

Sophomore quarterback Preston Dorland led the charge, accounting for four total touchdowns — three on the ground and one through the air — while also picking off a pass on defense. Will Perry added both a rushing and receiving touchdown and paced the defense with eight tackles as Cass City’s homecoming crowd celebrated another statement win.

Caro broke a long drought against the Red Hawks’ defense, scoring for the first time in the rivalry since 2018 when Mason Henry found Luke Joslyn on a 7-yard touchdown strike. Joslyn led the Tigers in both receiving and tackles, while Tyler Enos and Owen Creutz each chipped in defensively.

Announcers: Scott Bolsby & Landyn Schott

The WIDL crew was under the Friday night lights in Reese as the Rockets stormed back from an early deficit to knock off Marlette 28-14 and cap Homecoming with a statement win.

After the Red Raiders opened the second quarter with a 1-yard touchdown from Adam Wilcox, senior Deegan Carter exploded for three long scoring runs — 69, 34 and 64 yards — to lead Reese to its third victory of the season. Carter finished the night with 184 rushing yards on just eight carries, three touchdowns, six tackles and an interception. Quarterback Steele Stricker added a 32-yard touchdown strike to Carson Soper, while Emma Fisher was crowned homecoming queen during halftime festivities.

Marlette’s Owen Anderson carried 23 times for 127 yards, Payne Degelbeck added 75 yards and a late touchdown, and Trey Lester completed all three of his pass attempts. But the big plays from Carter proved too much to overcome as Reese stayed in the Big Thumb White Division title hunt.

It was rivalry night across the Thumb as Scott Bolsby and Landyn Schott kicked off Let’s Talk Sports live from Kingston’s Rea Field ahead of the Game of the Week between the unbeaten Kingston Cardinals and Deckerville Eagles. The pair opened the show recapping Cass City’s dominant win over Caro in the M-81 Rivalry, spotlighting Preston Dorland’s four-touchdown performance and Cass City’s defensive surge. They discussed playoff implications in the Big Thumb Conference, the looming Laker–Millington showdown, and Ugly’s bounce-back hopes after falling to Reese. The hosts also celebrated Violet Tetil of Caro and Norah Kiley of Kingston for breaking school cross-country records, mixed in some humor with “Bird Facts of the Week,” and previewed upcoming conference races. The episode wrapped with full pregame coverage for Kingston vs. Deckerville, complete with team stats, history, and sponsor shout-outs — setting the stage for WIDL’s Friday night football broadcast.

In a clash of unbeaten rivals, the Deckerville Eagles edged out the Kingston Cardinals 22-14 Friday night at Rea Field to secure at least a share of the Big Thumb Conference Blue Division title.

Kingston fell behind early as Deckerville capitalized on penalties and missed opportunities, taking a 15-0 halftime lead. The Cardinals mounted a strong second-half comeback behind senior quarterback Tanner James, who threw for 82 yards and two touchdowns — one each to Peyton Harrington and Nick Cummings — but time ran out on their rally.

Cummings also led Kingston’s defense with 12 total tackles, while Harrington added six and contributed 57 receiving yards. Despite the loss, head coach Eric Hartsell praised his seniors and emphasized the team’s playoff focus, saying:

“This doesn’t define our season. There’s still a whole lot of football left, and we’re going to fix our mistakes and move forward.”

The Cardinals (6-1, 5-1) travel to Dryden this Friday before wrapping up the regular season at home against Marion.
