(white except for star QB, who was shut down all game, suburb

Division 4: Flint Powers (largely white Catholic school in Flint
ghetto but student body from outside of Flint, outstanding black
soph running back and good black receiver, potential stud
white junior QB) 17, Grand Rapids Catholic Central (one of

Division 6: Kingsley (all-white Northern Michigan school with
athletic QB) 31, Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central (Detroit
"Downriver" school from smaller Catholic League division, had
black QB -- who couldn't throw at all -- and RB, but stud was a
white kid who had like 300 all-purpose yards and specatular

Michigan Catholic school with 6-6, 240-pound athlete Pat
Rigan going to MSU next year) 28, Unionville Sebewaing (all-
