The back half hit conference scoreboards, quirky banter (music takes, “pigskin profits” nostalgia), bold picks (Harbor Beach big; Cass City by two scores; USA by one possession), plus playoff projection talk spanning D7, D8, and 8-player brackets (Cass City-Laker rematch? Kingston-Brown City redux?). They closed by teeing up tonight’s broadcast: USA vs. Valley Lutheran.

WIDL 92.1 FM Game of the Week Recap — Oct. 17, 2025 Broadcast team: Scott Bolsby & Landyn Schott | From Reese High School

Friday night’s WIDL 92.1 FM Game of the Week brought listeners a dramatic overtime showdown in Reese, where the Rockets fell 26-18 to Saginaw Michigan Lutheran Seminary in a nonconference battle that had all the makings of a classic.

Play-by-play announcer Scott Bolsby and color commentator Landyn Schott called the back-and-forth action as both teams traded momentum through regulation. Reese’s Steele Stricker provided the spark with a pair of rushing touchdowns on just seven carries, while Luke Messing electrified the home crowd with a fourth-quarter interception return for a score that tied the game at 18-18 and forced overtime.

In the extra frame, MLS’s Noah Reif muscled in from two yards out for the go-ahead touchdown. Reese’s offense had one last chance, but the Cardinals’ defense held strong, sealing the 26-18 final.

Defensively, Beau Rasmussen anchored the Rockets with 10 tackles, followed by Deegan Carter with nine. Tre Johnson, Preston Castle, and Messing each added seven stops in a gritty team effort.

The broadcast team highlighted Reese’s resilience and defensive tenacity despite the loss, noting the Rockets’ fight to the final whistle. Reese (4-4) now turns its focus to a crucial Week 9 matchup at Sandusky, where the Rockets will look to close out the regular season and secure a postseason berth.

Back in-studio for Week 8, Scott and Landyn opened with a full rewind of Kingston–Deckerville’s 8-player rivalry: flags, missed chances, Kingston’s second-half rally, and the tough postgame news on Eagles QB Ian Flanagan’s foot injury. They ran through Blue/Red/White conference scoreboards, circled Reese vs. Saginaw MLS as the Game of the Week, and spotlighted Caro’s late-season surge behind QB Mason Henry (222 yards, 4 TDs). The middle stretch mixed in sponsor reads and quick hits from volleyball and cross-country (including Cass City’s Jaden VanAuken hitting 2,000 career digs) plus Scott’s Big House sideline story and a milk-cow trivia aside. Closing segments looked at playoff projections (three-way title split: Laker/Millington/Cass City), BWAC snapshots, and a tongue-in-cheek “Rocket vs. Cardinal” mascot mini-bracket before a focused Reese–MLS pregame.
