  "account": "In the final game of the storied Jefferson-SMCC rivalry, defense was the key factor. Jefferson (8-0) defeated St. Mary Catholic Central (6-8) 8-6, with Jefferson's defense stopping SMCC's final drive. Carlson (Downriver League) and Whiteford (Great Lakes Conference) each secured a share of the title with one game left. Carlson won their home game against Lincoln Park 27-8, while Ida lost to Hudson 0-26 and missed a share of the Lenawee County Athletic Association crown. Monroe squared its record at 4-4, scoring six touchdowns with Dalen Cosby, Abdel Bakr, Zamir Austin, Torran Simmons, and Jahlon Clemens. Airport earned its first victory of the season with Mason Stoneburner scoring three touchdowns on a 33-yard interception return, 59-yard pass, and 5-yard pass.",
