DETROIT, Mich. — In division 5, Grand Rapids Catholic Central faced off against Corunna and won the state title game.
It was scoreless after the first quarter but the Cougars scored in the first seconds of the second quarter. The score was a one yard run from Connor Wolf.
“I would just say that it’s a culture of excellence. Anything less than excellent is not accepted and that just speaks to the character of our guys and our coaches and everyone that came before in this program. Everyone that will come after us. No matter what team it is everyone is like we’re striving for excellence and I think that’s what sets us apart from other teams in the state,” said Connor Wolf.
Wolf would find the end zone again in the middle of the second on another one yard run. Cougars would lead 14-0 with 7:25 left in the second.
Catholic Central led 14-0 at halftime.
Corunna scored in the middle of the third to cut the lead in half 14-7. Wolf scores his third touchdown of the day. A 10 yard run gave the Cougars a two score lead with 7:59 left in the game.
Catholic Central wins the division 5 title over Corunna 21-7.
Head Coach Todd Kolster is known for not being in the group photos after games. He said he just wants to soak in the moment.
“It’s kinda like the one moment that you can sit back and look and these guys and enjoy them and what they just accomplished. I’ve never been in it (the picture) and it’s fun for me, for that 20 seconds or whatever just to look at them. I love these guys. They do everything and they’re a part of our program forever,” said Todd Kolster.
