But I also have to step back and look at the bigger picture,” Saline High School Head football coach Joe Palka said.

Senior Captain Demonte McCurdy, a three-year starter who played in Groves 2016 state semifinal team, sparks the Falcons. We played great defense and manufactured enough offense to win. Saline will get a grit check on Saturday when the Hornets take on defending Division 1 state champion Clarkston at Okemos. Clarkston plays great defense and are very balanced offensively, Palka said. We will need to play great defense again but will have to be ready for a good passing game, he said.
