Sure I expected Kiefer to lose to top-ranked Garber in a hard-fought contest, but wow, the Wolverines flat out thumped the Trojans, 58-12, Friday night at Warren Dell Stadium.
I've been to a lot high school football games in my day, but the performance Garber turned in against Kiefer was special.
Not only did the Wolverines manhandle Kiefer, they mercy-ruled the Trojans less than a minute into the third period. Garber scored a total of eight touchdowns and left the Trojans completely lifeless near the end of the first quarter.
I fully intended for the quarterfinal matchup to be a competitive game since Kiefer was one of the best teams no one knew about in Class B. But there is a reason why Garber is ranked No. 1 and no one has been able to touch them this season – or last season for that matter.
I have not seen Laverne, Canton or Ryan play, but I'm willing to bet Garber has no problem with any of them in the final two weeks of the playoffs as the Wolverines polish off yet another state title.
Here are some final numbers following Garber's 58-12 victory over Kiefer at Warren Dell Stadium:
