(CCN) — Flint Powers Catholic Athletic Director Mike Watson has offered up a forfeit victory instead of going to Frankenmuth for a varsity football game on Friday night (Sept. 28, 2024)
Watson notified Frankenmuth officials that Powers has low numbers and injury problems.
Powers was beaten 61-6 last week by Freeland on its home turf at Flint's Atwood Stadium when three more players went down with injuries to join others already on the sidelines.
Powers was beaten 49-7 a week earlier by Ovid-Elsie.
Frankenmuth is undefeated at 4-0 and ranked No. 3 in the state in Division 5.
Powers opened strong by beating Essexville Garber 30-20 and Flint Southwestern 56-8.
At 2-2, there's still hope for the Chargers to produce their first winning season since 2019.
But moving up JV players to the varsity just to play made no sense to AD Watson or new Coach Jeremy Freeman who took over the Powers program after leaving Flint Kearsley this season.

(CCN) — Gary Lee's Flint Hamady varsity football team tries to get back on track Friday night (Sept. 7, 2024) on its home turf against arch rival Flint Southwestern Academy.
Kick-off is schedule for 7 pm.
The Hawks were idle last week after a 49-12 loss at home against Muskegon Mona Shores.
Lee's Hamady squad opened with victories at home of 32-16 over Detroit East English and 60-0 over Detroit Mumford.
The Hawks went the independent route this season to play stronger competition after being rejected to join the Metro League. They won six Genesee Area Conference title in the last seven years with mostly blowout victories.
Hamady lost 45-7 to eventual Division 5 state champion Corunna a year ago after posting a perfect 8-0 regular season. The Hawks have made the state playoffs eight times in the last nine years under Lee's leadership. They also had a perfect regular season in 2018 when going 9-0.
Friday's opponent, Flint Southwestern Academy's Jaguars, has lost three straight since opening the season with a 22-14 overtime triumph over Burton Bentley at the Vehicle City Gridiron Classic at Kettering University's historic Atwood Stadium in Flint. The Jaguars, who are under the leadership of new Head Coach Chrishaun Verdun, then lost 56-0 at Pinconning, 56-0 to Flint Powers Catholic in another battle on Atwood's turf and 45-6 to Saginaw United.
Coach Verdun can take a big step forward with trying to turn the program around by winning on enemy Hamady's turf Friday night. There has been lots of losing in the last 13 seasons of prep football at Flint Southwestern. Teams there have turned in records of 1-8 in 2009, followed by records of 0-9, 2-7, 2-7, 2-7, 4-5, 1-8, 1-8, 3-6, 1-8, 1-8, 2-7, 2-7 and 0-9. A 59-0 loss at home to Hamady was part of last season's 0-9 campaign.
It was 67-0 for Hamady in 2022 after the Hwawks rolled 45-0 in 2021, 56-18 in 2019 and 43-6 in 2018 when the series began between the two Flint schools.

(CCN) — Flint Carman-Ainsworth's varsity football team is home Friday night (Sept. 7, 2024) to try for its first victory of the 2024 season.
The Cavaliers face Bay City Western in a non-conference battle. Kick-off is scheduled for 7 pm.
The Warriors play in the Saginaw Valley Conference's North Division while Flint Carman-AInsworth plays in the South Division.
Coach Dajuan Massey's Cavaliers are looking to rebound from last week's 36-8 loss to Lapeer in the home opener. It dropped them to 0-2 in Saginaw Valley Conference South Division play where they lost their 2024 debut 35-14 at Grand Blanc. The Cavs are 0-4 overall.
They lost non-conference contests 44-16 at Gladwin and 31-12 at Holt.
After winning 20-0 on opening night in non-conference play at Holly, Bay City Western was routed 40-6 at Petoskey in another non-conference game before Midland Dow opened Saginaw Valley Conference North Division play with a 44-9 romp in Bay City. The Warriors then lost 3-2 at home to Midland to spoil their homecoming festivities.
Flint Carman-Ainsworth will celebrate its homecoming next week. The 7 pm opponent next Friday is state-ranked Saginaw Heritage. The Hawks are No. 8 in Division 2 despite losing their first two Valley games on the road at Grand Blanc and Davison who are both Division 1 powers.
A parade is scheduled along with the 1st Annual Carman-Ainsworth Charge On! It will be a 5k run and walk event on Sept. 28. The Cavalier Homecoming 5k run/walk is an event for all ages and abilities to kick off homecoming week with a scenic loop through the Fair Mott Park and Dye Meadows subdivisions with a finishing stretch through the Carman-Ainsworth High School campus. Each participant will receive a t-shirt and medal with all proceeds from the race going to the CAHS Student Council program.

Flint International Academy is also making a return to 11-man football this season and was forced to forfeit due to injuries leaving the roster without enough players to compete.

The Bulldogs lost their non-conference opener 22-15 to Flint Southwestern in the Vehicle City Gridiron Classic at Kettering University's historic Atwood Stadium in Flint.
