  "account": "Grand Ledge claimed the CAAC Blue title with a 28-14 victory over DeWitt on Friday, Oct. 16. Key players in the win were Coleman VanFossen and Anthony Baker. VanFossen forced two turnovers, leading to an interception and a fumble recovery, and also had a crucial reception on a scoring drive in the third quarter. Baker rushed for nearly 100 yards and scored two touchdowns, including a game-sealing 58-yard run in the fourth quarter with 1:54 left on the clock. The victory marked Grand Ledge's first win over DeWitt since a 56-49 win in 2022. This win pushed Grand Ledge's record to 8-0, with their next game against Temperance Bedford presenting an opportunity to end the regular season undefeated, a feat not achieved since 2015. DeWitt, with a 6-2 record, suffered its first league loss since Week 4 of the 2023 season, ending a streak of 21 consecutive league victories. DeWitt's Coleman VanFossen commented on the significance of the loss, stating that his team is now \"great\" and has the potential for a deep playoff run.",
