Before the 2014 season gets rolling, let's rewind 10 years and check out what was happening:

The 2004 season was a great one for West Michigan as Rockford (D1), Muskegon (D2), and Lowell (D3) each took home State Championships. Muskegon and Lowell had two of the most dominant high school teams the state of Michigan has ever seen.

Lowell had an unbelievable offense that scored 663 points (47.4 ppg) on their way to a 14-0 season. Keith Nichol was just some unknown sophomore QB at the beginning of the season, but he ended up throwing for over 2,000 yards. Senior Mike Koster wasn't a bad target to throw to as he had 214 career receptions for over 3,600 yards from 2002-04. Ryan Esbaugh was a beast in the backfield racking up 32 touchdowns for a team who won their 2nd state title in 3 years. Oh yea, and the defense was pretty good too, only giving up 88 points and they snapped Kevin Grady's streak for most consecutive 100-yard rushing games (24).

Muskegon had a couple of players back in 2004 that you might have heard about. Michigan bound DT Terrance Taylor and sophomore Ronald Johnson were the base of an incredible defense holding teams to under 9 points per game. The offense wasn't half bad either racking up 573 points on their way to a 14-0 season. Ronald Johnson led Muskegon to another title in 2006 before heading off to play for Pete Carroll at USC. The Big Reds held strong in extremely tough playoff games vs 10-0 Bay City Western (W 21-20) and OK Red Champion Hudsonville (W 26-19) on their way to beating Orchard Lake Saint Mary's in the D2 final.

Spencer Klukowski and Bryan Anderson kicked off Rockford's back-to-back State Championship run and a campaign that ended up giving the Rams 3 titles in 5 seasons. Crazy thing is, Rockford (12-2 overall, 4-2) finished 3rd in the OK Red in 2004 behind Hudsonville (10-2 overall, 6-0) and Grandville (7-3, 5-1). Klukowski and the Rams got their revenge vs Grandville in the playoffs with a 31-24 thrilling victory, stopping MSU-bound Andrew Hawken at the goal line in overtime. A balanced Rams team ran for over 3000 yards on the season, while Klukowski aired it out for 2,100 yards and 17 touchdowns. Central Michigan commit Bryan Anderson caught 9 of those touchdowns to lead a strong group of wideouts. Sophomore and future All-Stater Callan Sherd led the defense with 5 interceptions.

Here are some more facts from the 2004 season:

Sophomore's Ronald Johnson and Keith Nichol went on to become highly touted 2007 recruits. Johnson was the no. 8 overall player and top wide receiver. Nichol was the no. 6 dual-threat quarterback and he committed to Oklahoma.

Kevin Grady left East Grand Rapids holding records for most career rushing yards (8,431), career touchdowns (151), career points (924), career rushing attempts (1,154), and the most consecutive 100-yard rushing games (24).

Grandville QB Brad Iciek went on to start at Grand Valley State where he finished his career with 4 GLIAC titles, a national championship, and he was 3rd all-time in TD passes (98), 4th in passing yards (8,461) and total offense (8,726).
