Map shows the location of each MI High School Football program

High school football in Michigan starts in just over a month. The best time of the year is almost here.

When the season starts, we here at WBCK will focus a little more on the teams in Calhoun County, specifically the Battle Creek Central Bearcats, Harper Creek Beavers, Pennfield Panthers, Lakeview Spartans, and Marshall Redhawks. However, in anticipation of the season, football fans across the country want to make sure everyone is well represented.

For the past week, X users have taken it upon themselves to locate every high school football team on a map of their home state. It’s been a while (seriously, there was a map of Alaska before this one), but a map of Michigan is finally ready.

Kudos to Anthony for covering nearly 500 football programs in Michigan; specifically covering Wayne, Macomb, Oakland, Kent, and Genesee Counties. It would have been easier if he had used the extended counties like other creators, but who doesn’t love a challenge in high school football?

It’s no surprise that, given Michigan’s odd shape and sparse population in the north, the teams become increasingly separated the further north you go.

However, the lone Blue Devil logo of Sault Ste. Marie High School caught the attention of many people. Who could they be playing, so far away from everyone else?

Some pointed out that he missed some schools in the Upper Peninsula, while others dropped class schedules so everyone would understand.

Of course, many schools in the blank counties don’t play 11-man football. So, 8-man football fans, don’t worry, he’s made one for you too.
