Midland, MI (11-01-2026) On Sunday, November 8, the Michigan High School Coaches Association (MHSCA) recognized the 2026 Coaches of the Year. One coach per each of the recognized high school sports in Michigan, plus a few other categories were honored. This year, DeWitt Coach Rob Zimmerman was selected as the 2026 Football Coach of the Year by the MHSCA for the past sporting year.  

Zimmerman led his 2025 Panther team to an undefeated season (14-0) and won the Division 3 State Championship. His team set numerous State records during the season and playoffs and several Finals records.

In his brief address, Zimm thanked the Administration, his coaching staff (best in the State) for the team's successes and the Junior Panther program. He also focused on the tremendous support from the community each Friday night.

And, thanked his lovely wife Christina.

Zimmerman has a 284-57 record at DeWitt with two State Championships, 2020 and 2025, 7 championship appearances, and 16 semi-final appearances and 33 All-State players.

Congratulations to Zimmerman from DeWittFootball.org on this wonderful and worthy award.

Mt. Pleasant, MI (11-14-2026): Friday evening the DeWitt Panthers traveled north on US-27 to Mt. Pleasant to play the Mt. Pleasant Oilers in a 7:00pm kickoff for the 2026 Division 3 Region 2 Regional Championship game. In a wild game, the Panthers prevailed 41-24.

With the win, the Panthers will be playing Zeeland West. The Dux defeated Middleville Thornapple Kellogg 30-24 to win their regional championship. The game will be played at... Grr... we tried to call some contacts at the MHSAA this morning to get the scoop on where it would be played but they did not answer our calls, again. It should be announced Monday morning. It will be at 1:00 on Saturday the 21st.

Back to last night. There was a lot of anticipation before the game. You can't really call it a rematch because so many players have come and gone from last year's D3 State Final game. However, Spach and Brayden were excited for it. They were doing the Oiler broadcast team for Mid-Michigan Sports Network. They were graceous hosts and we shared a few stats with them durning the game. There were former Oiler and Panther players on both sidelines.

The night was cold, in the mid-30s but little wind. But the offenses were red-hot. The Oilers took the opening kickoff and bing bang bong, went 73 yards in five plays. 1:18 off the clock. Oiler QB Xavier Cregure rushing for 21, passing three times to Zay McGinnis with the last one for 20 yards and a TD. Donovan McCumber missed the extra-point, 6-0 Oilers.

DeWitt took over the McCumber kickoff at the Panther 35. It took five plays and 65 yards for the Panthers to score on a Griffin Braman 33 yard run, set up by a Braman to Caedin Martin-Seymour 23 yard pass. Vincent Rose was solid again and made the extra-point. DeWitt 7-6. A couple of punts by both teams and Oilers take over.

Late in the first quarter, Creguer tried to force a pass to McGinnis and Hudson Snelling stepped in front of the pass and intercepted it for the Panthers. A Braman pass to Joseph Bobeda for 28 yards and an offside penalty against Mt. Pleasant put the Panthers at the 3 yard line. Braman took it in from the 3 for the second Panther TD. Rose. DeWitt 14-6.

The first quarter ended with the Oilers marching sprinting down the field to the Panther 22. The first quarter saw 299 yards of offense between the teams. First play of the second quarter and Creguer ran it in from 22 yards out. DeWitt 14-12. Second verse quarter, same as the first. No punting though. The Panthers had two scoring drives sandwiched around one Oiler scoring drive. First Panther drive was a 16 play 68 yard gem that took nearly six minutes with Rose making a 39 yard field goal, DeWitt 17-12. The Oilers drive was a 60 yard seven play drive with Creguer scoring from a yard out, Oilers 18-17. DeWitt came back down the field with a 74 yard five play drive with CM-S scoring a four yard TD. That TD was set up by a 56 yard Braman to Donovan Hillard pass. Rose. At the half, DeWitt 24-18.

The second quarter cooled off a bit with only 237 yards of total offense between the two teams. The half-time stats showed how close of a game it was at that point. Everyone rushed to the concession stand for hot chocolate to warm up while entertained by the Oiler pep band.

The third quarter turned out to be the difference in the game. DeWitt took the opening drive of the third quarter that ended with a Rose 24 yard field goal. DeWitt 27-18. The next couple of drives decided the game. Following Rose's deep kickoff, Mt. Pleasant took over at their own 15 yard line. Creguer started the drive with a nine yard run. Second and one, Creguer took a shot at a long pass but Krew Koutsoubus batted it away from the receiver. Alger would have taken that shot on second and one. Third and one at the Oiler 24. Creguer ran the ball and had first down yardage but Panther Royce Toney reached out and plucked the ball from Creguer and recovered it at the Oiler 31. First down DeWitt. A 16 yard run by CM-S and 15 yard Braman TD run made it 34-18 DeWitt.

Not done, the Oilers took ten plays and 60 yards taking over four minutes with a first down at the Panther 10 yard line on a combination of Creguer passes and runs. First and goal at the 10, incomplete pass. Second and goal at the 10 and Creguer is tackled by Tyler Bayshore and Caleb Nolen for no gain. Third and goal at the 10 yard line. A false start penalty by the Oilers pushed it back to the 15 yard line. Third and goal from the 15 yard line. Creguer's pass to McGinnins in the corner of the end zone, incomplete, just off his finger tips. Fourth and goal from the 15 yard line. Under pressure from Bayshore, Creguer rushed a pass to McGinnins that fell incomplete. Turnover on downs at 2:59 of the third quarter. The Oilers were a bit deflated after that drive.

DeWitt took over on downs. First and 10 from the Panther 15 yard line, Braman took the ball around the left end, broke one tackle as he turned the corner and sprinted 85 yards with Hillard, Kurncz and CM-S providing an escort. Rose. 41-18 Panthers. The Oilers did mount one long drive, spanning 17 plays and 71 yards but took over seven minutes and a lot of energy but DeWitt stopped them at the Panther nine yard line with 7:35 to play. Mt. Pleasant did have one more scoring drive in them with Creguer passing to Rdddek Hovey for 8 yards with 4:50 to play.

850 yards of total offense.

Creguer was a very good athlete. He passed for 213 yards on 22 of 37 passing and 2 TDs. He also rushed 24 times for 136 yards and 2 TDs. Zay McGinnis had 13 catches for 140 yards and one TD. The Panthers did bat away six Oiler passes, two each for Braman and Koutsoubus and one for Casey Flannery and Bayshore. Bayshore also had a blocked extra point. The Panthers forced two turnovers which they capitalized.

Braman rushed for 160 yards and four TDs and Hillard 64 yards. Braman was 4 of 7 passing for 136 yards,

Vincent Rose was perfect on the evening with two field goals, 39 yards and 24 yards and 5 of 5 extra points. His 39 yard field goal was higher than the top of the goal post as it went whizzing through. Could have been good from another 15 yards .
