DeWitt, MI (10-31-2026): Friday evening, the DeWitt Panthers defeated the Lowell Red Arrows in the first round of the MHSAA playoffs on a chilly night at Memorial Stadium. A nice crowd was on the Panther side of the field and Lowell filled most of their side as well. On the other side of the District 2 bracket, Coopersville (9-1) defeated East Grand Rapids (6-4) 24-14. The upcoming Friday evening, the Panthers (8-2) will host Coopersville as the Panthers have more playoff points than Coopersville. Caedin Martin-Seymour did the scoring in the first quarter for DeWitt. On the second drive of the game, he rushed for a 19 yard TD after Panther linebacker Hudson Snelling had recovered a Lowell fumble at the 50 yard line. Vincent Rose kicked the extra point, his first of six on the evening. Following a three and out by the Panther defense, the Panthers took five plays to go 58 yards where CM-S ran it in from nine yards out. The TD was set up by Griffin Braman's run of 39 yards. Rose.
The next few drives were indicatave of the night for Lowell and DeWitt. Once again the Panther defense held the Red Arrows to a three and out and Lowell kicker Sabin Ingram got a great roll on the punt for 60 yards to the Panther
After sharing a couple of punts, the Panthers scored on a short drive of 32 yards, one play. The drive was set up by Rose getting a punt out of bounds at the Lowell 4 yard line while the defense did not allow Lowell to get a first down. Once again, Braman carried the ball up the middle and with good downfield blocking, scored from the 32 yard line. Rose.
Using the passing game sparingly, Braman did find Landon Kurncz for a 40 yard TD pass capping a six play, 67 yard drive. The drive included a pair of nice plays, a run 13 yard run by CM-S for 13 yards and Carter Harryman catching an eleven yard pass.
The Red Arrows did put a drive together a 66 yard drive before the half which ended at the one yard line.
At the half, it was enjoyable to hear the Lowell Marching Band and the Panther Marching Band. We like the bands. And the stats. The first half DeWitt had 292 total yards to Lowell's 97, with 66 of those yards coming on the last drive before the half.
The third quarter started with a three and out by the Panther defense. Then a five play 62 yard Bobeda drive for DeWitt led to a touchdown. Joseph Bobeda ran for 12 yards, caught a pass for 42 yards, a six yard run and carried it in from the 2 yard line.
A pair of Panther fumbles gave the Red Arrows two short field drives they converted for touchdowns. McKoye Yaw scored on a seven yard TD and Mitchell Eikey a four yard run for the TD. Sabin Ingram made both extra points. And just as the Panthers were kind of grinding their teeth about the last two TDs by Lowell, Graham Hamilton turned those frowns upside down with a terrific 95 yard kick off return. Rose.
The Panther defense held Lowell to 53 yards passing (5 of 18) and 126 yards rushing and 1 of 10 third down conversions and the tackling was crisp like the night air. Dexter Dodds led DeWitt with 8 tackles, Trevor Preston 8 tackles and Tyler Bayshore seven tackles.
Braman was 5 of 7 passing for 112 yards and one TD to Kurncz. He also had 134 yards rushing with two scored. CM-S had the two TDs rushing and 53 yards.
