Glen Lake hosted East Jordan Friday night in the District finals round of the playoffs, and the Lakers pulled away in the third quarter and didn’t give anything up to earn a 28-14 win to clinch their first district championship since 2019.
“East Jordan was a good program and they weren’t going to just lay over,” Glen Lake coach Jesse Smith said. “I’m proud of all my players and coaches, we made the adjustments and just came out and kept fighting.”
East Jordan got on the board first when they intercepted a pass, returning it for a touchdown and making the extra point. On the following kickoff senior Sam Dykstra returned the kick for 82 yards to get the Lakers on the board. Senior Hunter Cox converted on the extra point tying the game at seven a piece.
