Several former Oakland County stars left their mark on Saturday


In some of the local college football action taking place on Saturday afternoon, several former Oakland County stars shined for three in state football squads.

Michigan State vs. Central Michigan:
On the Michigan State side of things, Birmingham Detroit Country Day’s Bennie Fowler led all receivers on Saturday with eight catches for just under 100 yards and a touchdown, while Dion Sims (Orchard Lake St. Mary’s) grabbed a touchdown catch of his own to go with his 48 receiving yards.

Farmington’s Jason Wilson made the big play of the game for Central Michigan on Saturday afternoon as the defensive back took an interception back for a touchdown to end the Spartan shutout on the afternoon. Justin Cherocci (Birmingham Brother Rice) led all defensive players on the day with 10 tackles on the afternoon, while Wilson and Joe Kinville (Novi Detroit Catholic Central) each recorded six tackles of their own. Cody Wilson (Rochester Adams) finished the day with six catches for 54 yards to help lead the Chippewa offense.

Michigan vs. Air Force:
Former Farmington Hills Harrison and current freshman tight end Devin Funchess had a big day for the Wolverines on Saturday as he made four catches for over 100 yards including a 30 yard grab for his first ever collegiate touchdown. Defensively, Kenny Demens (Birmingham Detroit Country Day) finished with seven tackles while freshman James Ross (Orchard Lake St. Mary’s) made four tackles, including a key fourth down tackle late in the game to stop an Air Force drive.
