Division 6 State Championship game:

The #48 ranked, Lumen Christi Titans are 12-0 and are looking to defend their Division 6 state championship. LC is 10-2 all-time in state championship games.

Lumen Christi's playoff path features wins over; #164 Montrose, #170 Blissfield, #140 Michigan Center, and #268 Napoleon.

The #67 ranked, Montague Wildcats who are 11-2 are coming off of a very impressive win over Saint Francis in the semi-final and will be hoping to continue their momentum to upset LC. Montague is 2-1 in state championship games, they went back-to-back in 2008 and 2009.

Montague's playoff path features wins over; #49 Saint Francis, #154 Schoolcraft, #278 Newaygo, and #165 Fennville.

Following the regular season, Lumen Christi was the #48 ranked team in the state and #1 in Division 6 while Montague was the #67 ranked team in the state and #5 in Division 6.

Prediction: Lumen Christi by 9

Explanation: The Titans have had no challenges through their conference and Division 6 this year so it should be a fresh and loose team. Montague has had to exert a lot of energy these past two weeks vs. Schoolcraft in a mud pile field and 14-7 upset over Traverse City Saint Francis. A gritty Montague team would be the team, if any to upset Lumen Christi this year.
