DeWitt, MI(12/03/2024): We don't like to post anything on here that could end up in an opponent's locker room. We love as people around the mid-Michigan area ask us "Is this team that good?" "How do they rate against other Zimmerman coached teams?" "70 points, do they play weak teams?"
Of the 13 teams DeWitt played, ten made the playoffs:
- Haslett lost in regional championship in Division 4.
- Mason lost in the semi-finals to Detroit King in Division 3.
- Hurricane, WV making a deep run in the West Virginia playoffs.
- East Lansing lost to Byron Center in Division 2 semi-finals.
- Grand Ledge made the playoffs.
- Everett made the playoffs.
- They eliminated St. Johns (6-4) from playoffs.
- They eliminated Lowell (8-3) from playoffs.
- They eliminated Petoskey (11-1) from the playoffs.
- They lost to Division 3 State Champ Zeeland West.
As we were looking back at the season, we started to look at our records and begin to put it all together. We found, yes, one of the best offensive teams, not only in DeWitt history but State history.
