REED CITY – The Boyne City Ramblers defeated the Reed City Coyotes 34-21 Friday to win the school’s 2nd regional title, first since 2014. The Ramblers were down 14-0 in the first half, but were scored 34 unanswered points to get the win. Owen Hewitt led the way with four touchdowns, and Ryan Spate added the 5th touchdown late in the 4th to secure the victory.

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

“It’s great. I was there for the first one 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 a few alumni from this team came back to talk to these kids because this group reminded me so much of this 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 semifinals.
