Getting It Done on the Field and In the Classroom

These are the stories you love to tell!!

It comes out of Midland, Michigan.

The Midland High and Dow High football teams were playoff teams on the field, but they were state champs off the field.

The Midland Chemics were the #1 team academically in the state in Division 1, while the Dow Chargers headed Division 2. They were the only football teams in the state to earn a cumulative 4.0 grade-point average.

The team GPA is figured based on 11 players nominated by each school. Both teams' GPA was actually higher than 4.0. But 4.0 is the highest GPA recognized for purposes of the award.

A couple of final notes, both team are part of the Midland School District, and two meet in the Michigan State Playoffs with with Midland beating Dow 20-9. That playoff win came one week after the two met in their annual season finale, which was also won by Midland 24-17.

Congratulation to both schools!!
