I’m going to post about Chelsea football, because that’s what occupies my time these days. Deal with it.

Chelsea High School Football record through week 1: 2-1 (2-1 week 1; 0-0 SEC).

On Thursday, the freshmen lost at Novi. The JV took a 14-6 lead into halftime, and that wound up being the final score; a thunderstorm struck at the end of halftime, and they decided to end the game.

On Saturday, the varsity faced Novi at Eastern Michigan University, and they left with a 28-14 victory. After some time on the field together, the offense came together and looked exciting, while the defense allowed only one offensive touchdown. (The other came on a kickoff return.)

Eye-catching: Both the JV and the varsity used trick plays early in the game, both with great success. The JV used a hook-and-ladder that resulted in a first and goal; the varsity had a receiver throw a long touchdown pass on the fourth play of the first drive.

Next up: Freshmen and JV vs. Bedford on Thursday; varsity at Bedford on Friday.
