Here is a look at the best from Greater Lansing from Week 8 of the MHSAA high school football regular season.
PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK
WILLIE BROWN, SEXTON: The senior totaled four touchdowns while contributing to the J-Dubbs recording a CAAC White victory over Eaton Rapids to improve to 5-3. Brown had six catches for 128 yards and three touchdowns and returned a fumble 41 yards for a score in Sexton's win. That fumble recovery was one of two on the night for Brown, who added 12 tackles on defense.
TEAM OF THE WEEK
GRAND LEDGE: The Comets improved to 8-0 by wrapping up the outright CAAC Blue championship with a 28-14 victory over DeWitt in a matchup of teams that were unbeaten in league play. Grand Ledge handed DeWitt its first league loss since 2023 while claiming its first league title since 2022 when it shared the Blue crown with Holt. The Comets captured their first outright CAAC Blue title since 2017 and are a win away from completing their first unbeaten regular season since 2015.
