KENTWOOD, Mich. — South Christian won the battle of the top two teams in the OK Gold Friday night, 36-34.

Senior quarterback Jake DeHaan scored four touchdowns, one on a pass to Seth Ritsema right before the half to give the Sailors a 7-6 lead at the break.

DeHaan caught a TD from sophomore Carson Vis on a reverse pass for a 14-6 lead in the 3rd quarter.

He intercepted a pass and returned it for a score and a 21-14 lead, and added an 82-yard touchdown run with a 1:30 left.

"Our team is so built chemistry wise," DeHaan said. "Everybody come together and we just love to play football with each other, there is nothing better than that."

DeHaan finished 19-28 for 168 yards passing and ran the ball 19 times for 181 yards.

"Jake DeHaan is unbelievable," Sailors head coach Danny Brown said. "He's coming off the field and saying we are going to find a way to win coach, just get me the ball and he did it."

Vis caught nine passes for 55 yards to go with his passing TD.

Grand Rapids Catholic Central junior quarterback Connor Wolf completed 26 0f 42 passes for 335 yards and three scores.

Kellen Russell-Dixon had 105 yards rushing on 17 carries and two touchdowns, Billy Mikolay caught ten passes for 133 yards and touchdown.

The loss snaps Catholic Central’s 42-game winning streak.
