Milan hasn't lost a season opener since 1993, but the Big Reds needed a shoeless kick return for a touchdown in their 25-24 win over Ypsilanti.

Skyline started off strong in its first-ever varsity game, but eventually was overwhelmed 64-26 against Hartland.

Saline did all its scoring in one quarter of the Hornets' 17-14 win over visiting Belleville.

Willow Run's Desmond Brown stands just 5-foot-2, but that's all he needed to rack up 186 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns in the Flyers' 34-25 win over Detroit PEC.

Dexter started the season on the right foot with a 37-16 win over Garden City.

Father Gabriel Richard's Dennis Olszewski rushes for 113 yards and picks up another 93 receiving in a 26-24 win over Lake Fenton.

Whitmore Lake was on the wrong end of a 75-8 drubbing at the hands of defending Southern Michigan Activities Association champion Stockbridge.

Lincoln was outgained 326-117 and threw five interceptions in a 45-0 loss at Mason. Ben Hinamanu and Saylor Lavallii each rushed for two TDs for Mason, according to the Lansing State Journal.

And here is a roundup of other sporting events held on Friday.
