Division 4 State Championship game:

The #41 ranked, Edwardsburg Eddies took out the team that's been on their mind for a year now, Grand Rapids Catholic Central by beating them 46-44 in the semi-final last week. GRCC beat the Eddies in the 2017 D4 final game which was their lone finals appearance. Edwardsburg is 13-0 this year and runs a dangerous power wing t offense.

Edwardsburg's playoff path features wins over; #25 GRCC, #157 Holland Christian, #116 Paw Paw and #209 Plainwell.

The #72 ranked, Chelsea Bulldogs have been as impressive as anyone this post-season as they defeated Harrison in John Herrington's final game as their head coach and they picked themselves up well after a shocking upset to Alpena in week 9 as they hold a 10-3 record now. Chelsea appeared once in the 2015 D3 final.

Chelsea's playoff path features wins over; #95 Williamston, #35 Farmington Hills Harrison, #114 Milan, and #82 Grosse Ile.

Following the regular season, Edwardsburg was the #41 ranked team in the state and #3 in Division 4 while Chelsea was the #72 ranked team in the state and #5 in Division 4.

Prediction: Edwardsburg by 5

Explanation: You will see a crazy score line in this game as Edwardsburg doesn't kick PAT's and can score a lot in a hurry. This should be a great game, but the Eddies are ready to forget about their 2017 finals loss and have clicked on all cylinders so far this year.
