Shamrocks awarded District title; head to West Catholic for Regional final

After more than a week of uncertainty surrounding the football playoffs, the Berrien Springs High School football team has been awarded a district championship and will travel to Grand Rapids West Catholic for the regional championship on Saturday, November 14, at 1:00 p.m., Athletic Director Joe Stephens reported. The unusual sequence began on the Thursday before the predistrict round, when Grand Rapids Catholic Central was removed from the playoffs following an MHSAA ruling involving an ineligible player. A GRCC student then obtained a temporary restraining order from a judge that required the MHSAA to allow Catholic Central to play Comstock Park on Tuesday, November 3. GRCC won that contest handily, setting up a district final against Berrien Springs, which had defeated Lake Odessa Lakewood (in overtime) in its pre-district game. That district final was tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, November 10.
