Petoskey adds more hardware to its collection with second-ever district championship

PETOSKEY — Before this year, there were already plenty of hardware stores in Petoskey.

But, another has popped up by the name of Northmen Stadium.

While you’re not likely to find your traditional hammer and nails, what you will find is a football program that’s cemented itself in the heart of the community. And, you’ll find plenty of lumber to look back on.

After earning the Jaycees Traveling Trophy and Big North Conference trophy at Northmen Stadium already this season, then Petoskey football team added more hardware in the form of a Division 3 district championship trophy Friday night with a 38-10 victory over Mount Pleasant.

“It feels great because we had a list of goals before the season,” Petoskey senior safety Haden Janes said. “The Jaycees Trophy, conference championship, host two playoff games and then we just checked off the big one, a district championship. That puts us up there with great Petoskey teams of the past. We set out to be the greatest Petoskey team ever and we’re not done yet. It’s just fun to know we’re not done.”

Petoskey players receive the Division 3 district championship trophy from athletic director Joel Dohm following their win over Mount Pleasant Friday night, celebrating the second-ever district title by the program.

This Petoskey team is certainly one of a kind. The highest scoring team in program history is also the first-ever 11-0 team and became just the second-ever district championship winning team, with the last coming in 2014, 10 years ago nearly to the day on Nov. 7 against Mount Pleasant.

While they’ve showed everyone in Petoskey, Northern Michigan and the state how great of a team they are, Petoskey head coach Jim Webb knows they’re also so much more.
