BELLEVILLE, Mich. – High school football playoffs started back up again Saturday after players were sidelined for weeks because of coronavirus.
High school football in January hasn’t happened in Michigan before, but the 2020-21 school year has been a unique year.
Jan. 9, 2021: Michigan coronavirus cases up to 519,082; Death toll now at 13,354Belleville faced Detroit Cass Tech nearly two months after the game was supposed to originally happen.
“Today’s a great day for football,” said Cass Tech head coach Thomas Wilcher.
The hope is every coach, player, referee and school staff member gets through these playoffs safely and the MHSAA crowns a champion.
