Michigan high school football scores from first round of MHSAA playoffs

November is here, which means we finally have Michigan high school football playoffs! Welcome to the first round of the MHSAA state tournament, with 128 games on the schedule, including 10 on Saturday.

As always, we broke down all eight divisions, picked each region’s final four and predicted state champions.

Check freep.com/sports/high-schools for game coverage, and on Saturday night, we’ll have the playoff schedule for next week’s second-round matchups. Then come back next Friday to see predictions for each game.

Congratulations to Detroit Free Press Prep Athlete of the Week for Oct. 20-26: Howell’s Justin Jones. 

Send in your nominees this weekend across any sport for Oct. 27-Nov. 2, and voting will open Tuesday.
