Key to the Game: Time of possession. It seemed like the East Grand Rapids defense was always on the field and the time of possession showed just that. Caledonia controlled the ball for over 32 of the 48 minutes.

Player of the Game: Eddie Kelly had 174 yards rushing, averaged 7.0 yards per carry, and had 2 rushing touchdowns.

Shined in a losing effort: Mike Johnston had 10.5 tackles for an East Grand Rapids defense that fought hard all night long.

What does it mean?

This was a huge game and some might have said a must win. Caledonia improves to 5-2 with Lowell and Grand Rapids Christian remaining on the schedule. This was a huge win as the Scots now only need one more win to qualify for the playoffs.

Last season the Pioneers missed the playoffs at 5-4 and they need to win their next two games to avoid possibly the same fate. Grand Rapids Christian next week and Jenison the following week will be trying to keep East Grand Rapids out of the playoffs.
