Announcer: Those of you regulars at the DeWitt home games may have noticed a different voice this season. DeWitt Football's new Stadium Announcer is Steve Goff.  Steve graduated from DeWitt in 1989 where he was class president.  Steve followed his dreams to become a broadcaster, starting at LCC, getting his first job in 1990 at WITL and after several moves in the radio industry and other media, including owning his own voiceover business, he is celebrating his 35th year in the world of broadcasting.  Steve is married to his high school sweetheart, Katie (Murray), and they are the proud parents of 5 children - Tim (27), Emma (25), Emilie (24), Abby (22) and Lily (15 and current DeWitt High School student); in addition to their 3 dogs - Luna, Freddie and Georgia.  Steve and Kate enjoy going to concerts and watching sports - especially anything Michigan State related as well as Detroit sports.  Steve's very proud of his community and is very excited for the opportunity to be behind the microphone in the press box.

Entering the high school on a perfect fall afternoon.

Did You Know?

Panther Puzzle

A couple weeks ago, Landon Kurncz returned an interception against East Lansing 40 yards and was just pushed out of bounds at the Trojan 20, just missing a "pick six" by a smidgen. (That is football jargon for almost.) That would have been a 60 yard interception return. That game, Jadon Bender did have a 16 yard return for a "pick six". 

Hmm...

The Puzzle: What is the longest  interception return for a touchdown by a Panther defender?

Answer: Thursday.

Hint: The answer is on the web site.

2025 CAAC Blue Showdown

   

Grand Ledge Comets vs DeWitt Panthers 
(6-0, 4-0)                  (6-0, 3-0)
at Memorial Stadium DeWitt, Michigan

Friday, October 10

Helmet images from MichiganHelmetProject.com

DeWitt, MI (10/06/2025):  It is that time of season, the temperatures will be more fall like, the leaves are falling, days getting shorter and conferences championships are becoming clearer.

This Friday night at Memorial Stadium, the CAAC Blue championship will be come clearer as well. The undefeated Grand Ledge Comets will bring one of their best teams in several seasons to DeWitt for a 7:00pm kickoff. It will be a tussle for sure, a slobber knocker, a barn burner, call it what you will.

We reached out to the Lead Prep Sports Writer of the Lansing State Journal, Brian Calloway to preview Friday's game as he has seen both teams play. Brian....

The CAAC Blue hasn’t featured a repeat champion in football the last three seasons.

DeWitt is in position to change that and can take a step towards a repeat when it hosts Grand Ledge in a Week 7 CAAC Blue showdown of unbeatens.

DeWitt (6-0) enters the matchup with a 3-0 mark in the CAAC Blue and has outscored opponents 171-7 in league play. The lone points surrendered in league play for DeWitt came in Week 5 to East Lansing. The Panthers head into the matchup with 20 consecutive regular season wins.  DeWitt has held four of its six opponents to seven points or less this season, which includes shutout wins over Waverly and Holt.

Central Michigan commit and senior quarterback Traverse Moore has led a DeWitt offense that has one of Greater Lansing’s best this fall. Jadon Bender has been among the area’s top defensive players and has been a key in the Panthers’ success on that side

Grand Ledge is 6-0 for the first time since the 2015 season. That 2015 season featured the Comets making a run to the Division 1 state semifinals. Grand Ledge is 4-0 in CAAC Blue and has outscored league opponents 163-66.

The Comets, who are in position to make the playoffs for a sixth straight season, have had Nick Terranova running the show at quarterback and leaned on Anthony Baker and Ashton Delaney in the backfield. Kingston Nixon and Brady Williams have been among the threats in the passing game for Grand Ledge, which has scored at least 30 points in every game this fall

Grand Ledge, which is after its first league title since 2022, has held three opponents to eight points or less, which has included Waverly and Everett the last two weeks.

DeWitt is looking for a third straight win in the series and won last year’s matchup 42-0.

Thanks, Brian.

It will be a great game. Get there early as it will surely be an overflow crowd.
