Seven storylines in Greater Lansing as high school football's opening night nears
As the high school football season begins in Greater Lansing, here are seven key storylines to watch this fall.
As high school football season approaches in Greater Lansing, several key storylines emerge. Can DeWitt or Portland St. Patrick secure another state championship? Both teams have faced the challenge of replacing key players from their previous championship squads. East Lansing and Mason also aim to bounce back after less successful seasons last year.
Eastern High School, under new coach Dan Boggan, hopes to turn things around after a three-game winning streak since 2022. Eight new coaches take over programs in Greater Lansing, with only a few returning playoff teams from the previous season. Owosso, which reached the playoffs for the first time since 2012, hopes to build on that momentum and potentially go back-to-back.
Portland St. Patrick, boasting a 27-game winning streak in CAAC White play, aims to continue their dominance. Finally, Dansville, transitioning to 8-man football, and Carson City-Crystal, returning to the traditional 11-player format, mark the start of new chapters for both programs.
