REED CITY – The Boyne City Ramblers defeated the Reed City Coyotes 34-21 on Friday to win the school’s second regional title, their first since 2014. The Ramblers fell behind 14-0 in the first half but scored 34 unanswered points to get the win. Owen Hewitt led the way with four touchdowns and Ryan Spate added his 5th late in the 4th to secure the victory.

Boyne City head coach David Suttle spoke after the game about how special that win was.

“It’s awesome. I was here for the first time when we won it. There was actually 12 inches of snow on the ground that day. I told these kids at the beginning of the year that we actually had some of the alumni on that team to go back and talk to these kids because this group reminded me a lot of that group. Not exactly the same, but very similar,” Suttle said.

Boyne City will now face the winner of Saturday’s Lansing Catholic vs. Newaygo game in the state semifinal.
