As of Monday evening, we are not sure if high school streaming with Matt Merrifield will be broadcasting the DeWitt game. We are checking if the NFHS network will be broadcasting or if any local radio stations in Galloway will be broadcasting the game. DeWitt, MI (09/15/2025): This Friday evening, the DeWitt Panthers will leave the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium, step out of league play, and step out of the State. DeWitt will travel to 240 miles to Galloway, Ohio to play the Westland Cougars. Why? The CAAC Blue Division has seven member schools. Each school has to find a third non-conference game during the season when most other leagues are playing their league schedules and therefore their schedules are full. Rather than not having a week four game as what happened a few years ago, the Panthers are connecting with Galloway Westland, similar to last season's Hurricane, WV game. DeWitt (enrollment 944) is 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the CAAC Blue Division. Grand Ledge (3-0, 1-0) and Lansing Everett (3-0, 1-0) are tied with the Panthers in the league. Holt (2-1, 0-0) has yet to play a league contest. Westland Cougars. Well, Ok, facts first. Westland has an enrollment of 1,864. That would place them in the top 25 of largest enrollment schools in Michigan, similar to Rockford, Dearborn or Brighton. Large Division 1 schools. Being just on the west side of Columbus, they play in the Ohio Capital League. They are 2-2 on the season and 0-1 in their league. Large up front and very fast skill players. We are doing a little more research for you. Check in later in the week. Travel Advisory: If you wear Blue and Gold while traveling to Galloway, make sure it says "DeWitt" on the front of the shirt. Have heard rumors that Ohio State Troopers have specially equiped radars that sniff out blue and gold shirts that have an "M" on them and green and white shirts with an S on them.
DeWitt, MI (09/12/2025): The DeWitt Panthers played host the Lansing Waverly Warriors this Friday at Memorial Stadium. On a picture perfect evening for football, in front of an overflow Homecoming 2025 crowd estimated at 3,700, the Panthers defeated Waverly 55-0. The Panthers kicked off to Waverly to begin the game and held the Warriors to "a three and out". DeWitt's first possession was a four play, 71 yard drive, capped with a little razzle dazzle play. QB Trav Moore started the play with the ball and ended the play with the ball when Griffin Braman laid a perfect pass to Moore on a swing pass for a 26 yard reception. Vincent Rose's first of seven extra points gave DeWitt a 7-0 lead with just over two minutes to play into the game. The second DeWitt score, on its second possession was a 23 yard TD pass from Moore (CMU) to Channing Ridley, capping a six play 62 yard drive. The Panthers took a 14-0 first quarter lead. In the second quarter, the offense clicked. The defense set up the third TD when Jadon Bender (CMU) intercepted a Waverly pass at the goal line and brught it out to the 36 yard line. a couple running plays later, Moore connected with Bender on a 35 yard pass play, 21-0 DeWitt. The defense set up the fourth TD as well, when Jacob Schorfhaar pounced on a Warrior fumble at the Panther 46. A nine yard run by Moore and then Ridley ripped off a 45 yard for the TD. After a bad Warrior punt, the Panthers took over at the Warrior 33 and four plays later, Moore hit Ridley for a sweet 21 yard TD pass in the corner of the end zone. Late in the second quarter, Cooper Chambers crashed through the Waverly D for a 5 yard run to make it 42-0 at the half. DeWitt had a 321 to 61 yardage advantage. At the half, Cato Johnson and Luke Nolen were crowned. In the second half, with a running clock, Braman saw some good action running the Panther offense. It was great to see Tyler Bayshore back into the Panther lineup. He had 3 good strong carries for 11 yards. Caeden Martin-Seymour had 3 carries and made the most of them by scoring twice on runs of 14 and 36 yards. Ridley led the Panthers in rushing with 85 on six carries. Martin-Seymour had 52 yards on 3 carries. Bender had three receptions for 75 yards, Landon Kurncz 2 receptions for 61 yards and Ridley 2 for 44. Moore finished 8 for 10 passing for 153 yards and 3 TDs and Braman was 2 for 2 for 79 yards and one score. DeWitt accounted for 459 yards of total offense, 227 on the ground and 232 passing. Max Holtz led the Panther D with 11 tackles, Brendan Mensing five plus a sack, Bralon Wright-Moore had five tackles, Justin Barkman four, as well as Mac Strawn. Waverly QB Robert Dorsey was 15 of 31 passing for 104 yards and sacked four times. Tyrell Suddeth-Doss had three kickoff returns for 109 yards.
DeWitt, MI(08/01/2025): DeWittFootball.org would like to congratulate the Brothers Larner, Abram and Elliott, on being selected for the 2025 Michigan High School Football Coaches Association All-Star game. On a hot afternoon at Lawrence Tech Blue Devil Stadium, Elliott was the starting West QB. The West burst out to 28-0 half time lead and a 35-0 lead into the 4th quarter. The final was 35-13. Elliott threw a 93 yard TD for the first TD of the game and scored on a six yard run in the fourth for the West's last TD. It was fun to see the Larners on the field at the same time again as Abram now heads to Grand Valley State and Elliott to Michigan Tech. On these dog days of summer, sit back with a cold glass of lemonaide or ice tea and enjoy the game. Mt. Pleasant, MI (07/26/2025): Looks like former Panther Tommy McIntosh is finally getting the attention he deserves. The All-State receiver McIntosh on DeWitt's 2020 championship team is getting looks after hard work and perseverance at Central Michigan University. Please enjoy these two recent articles from WLNS and from The G5 Hive on Tommy. Let's just sit back and enjoy some vintage Number 10. |
