East Lansing earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing on Friday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Haslett, sneaking past 33-30. The win was familiar territory for East Lansing, who now have five in a row.
East Lansing got off to a slow start in their contest last week, but they had no such trouble against Haslett as they cruised to a 24-point first half. Haslett wasn't quite able to keep up, scoring 16 to make it 24-16 heading into the break. East Lansing almost let the contest get away from them in the second half, but they had just enough oomph to take it.
Senior Kobe Hayward, who rushed for 176 yards and 2 touchdowns on 28 carries, was a major factor in East Lansing's success. In fact, with nine tackles Hayward was a force on both sides of the ball. Speaking of playmakers, who could forget senior Justin Brown, who went all the way with a kickoff return for touchdown in the second quarter?
The victory bumped East Lansing's record up to 9-1. The loss dropped Haslett's record to 8-2.
