Extra Point -
Defending champ Montague led 33-0 at the break by moving the ball successfully on offense but more importantly slowing down the Yellowjacket attack and causing turnovers.  The Wildcats will be looking to repeat on Friday, if that were to happen, that would make it, the 2nd time a team has repeated in D6 in the last 4 years.

Extra Point -
Much like the Muskegon Heights vs. Lumen Christi game, this is another that should be one of the most exciting games of the Semi-Finals.  Both teams are absolutely explosive on offense and showcase 2 outstanding QBs, Montague's Cody Kater headed to CMU and Alex Niznak from Ithaca, a Jr. certain to be playing at the next level when all is said and done for his prep career.  Both teams have weapons all over the field and terrific balance with both the ground and air attack, Montage is almost dead on 50/50 between run and pass yardage.  I wouldn't be surprised by either team that wins although I think with the experience that the Wildcats have and a defense that has only allowed 5 points per game in the post-season, The EDGE leans towards Montague.

Extra Point -
The game is a rematch from the 2004 Semi-Finals, where Constantine defeated SMCC 28-27 and advanced to win their first State Title.  Since then Constantine has not returned to the Semis till now, St. Mary CC is making their 3rd trip to the Final 4 since '04 but looking for their first Title win since '91, they reached the title game in 2005 but fell to Kingsley.  Both teams have cranked it up a notch since the post-season started, with Constantine tightening up on defense, only allowing 6 points a game while SMCC is averaging 41 points a game in the playoffs, 7 points above their regular season average.  The EDGE leans towards St. Mary CC.
