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.
