What an amazing high school football season in West Michigan.  Seven teams from the WOOD-TV viewing area will play for state championships. 

Rockford in Division 1; Muskegon in Division 2, East GR in Division 3, Holland Christian makes its first trip to the state finals in Division 4, Oakridge is back in Division 5, Montague in D-6, and Muskegon Catholic Central goes for yet another state title in Division 8.  

24 hour News 8 will have a crew of six at Ford Field to cover the action.  We’ll be reporting live on Friday at 5-6-10 and 11pm.  We’ll be live again on Saturday at 6-10 and 11.  We’ll be providing coverage on line with updates as our local teams score.   We’ll post new pictures throughout the two days at Ford Field, and if you miss the action, check after newscasts to see the hi lites the best football shooters and West Michigan capture of the games. 

If you can’t make it to Ford Field, we’ll do our best to make you feel like you went.

Here’s a look at the finals matchups

Friday: 10am Division 8=Muskegon CC  13-0 vs Crystal Falls Forest Park; 1pm Division 2= Muskegon 13-0 vs Warren De La Salle 13-0; 4:30 Division 6= Montague 12-1 vs Leslie 12-1; 7:30 Division 4= Holland Christian 13-0 vs Country Day 11-2
