We've reached the halfway point of the season in Week 5 . League races are in full swing, and the chase for playoffs is on as well.
Britton Deerfield, Clinton, Hudson and Madison were the only winners this week. Here's how the Patriots, Redwolves, Tigers and Trojans got it done:
BRITTON DEERFIELD 48, LENAWEE CHRISTIAN 26
ADRIAN — The Patriots traveled to LCS and picked up their first win against the Cougars since joining the 8-man game in 2021.
BD (4-1, 2-0 SCAA White) also claimed at least a share of the SCAA White division title with each of the other three teams in the league with at least one loss.
It was a back-and-forth game early with BD leading 16-12 at the half with a pair of Caden Kubacki 1-yard touchdowns, while Wyatt Melton had a 64-yard touchdown run and Zane Cherfan caught a 42-yard touchdown pass from JT Reatherford.
BD pulled away in the second half with a 13-yard touchdown from Caden Freeman, another 1-yard run from Kubacki, a Cayden Allhouse 42-yard touchdown run, a Kubacki 11-yard touchdown run and a Luke Wiser 49-yard touchdown run. Reatherford found Cherfan with a 20-yard touchdown pass for LCS (1-4, 0-1 SCAA White) and a 61-yard touchdown to Brenner Powers.

PINCKNEY 24, TECUMSEH 18
PINCKNEY — Four interceptions was too much for Tecumseh from which to battle back as it fell to Pinckney in SEC White play.
Tecumseh (2-3, 1-2 SEC White) trailed 24-12 after the third but scored to make it one-possession game on a Tyler Clement touchdown run with about seven minutes left in the game, but one last interception brought the game to an end on Tecumseh's final drive.

The Bulldogs led 14-10 at the half and scored 28 unanswered points.
CONCORD 32, MORENCI 16
