Northville – Robbie Kehoe played a pivotal role in Northville’s impressive 35-15 victory over Plymouth, showcasing remarkable defensive skills that helped his team secure their victory. Kehoe recorded two sacks, forced one fumble, and made three total tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss. His performance was crucial, especially in the absence of fellow linebacker Danny O’Neil, who is sidelined due to injury.
Looking ahead, Northville’s next game is scheduled for Friday at 7:00 p.m. against Howell. This matchup is particularly significant, as Northville is looking to avenge a previous loss in which they fell to Howell 27-12. The rivalry between these two teams remains intense, increasing the stakes for this upcoming rematch.
Northville’s head coach, Brent Luplow, expressed admiration for Kehoe’s performance, pointing to his growth in both confidence and leadership on the field. Described as the “prototypical Northville football player,” Kehoe is not the largest player but is recognized for his relentlessness and high football IQ. Kehoe aims to emulate former linebacker Kaden Kuban, known for being part of a strong linebacker group during his time at Northville.
Throughout the game against Plymouth, Northville’s defense was further energized under the guidance of coordinator Matt Sexton. Collectively, the team used hard work and collaboration to offset physical challenges, reinforcing their defensive strategy.
In addition to Northville’s triumph, other noteworthy achievements across local high school football included East Jordan’s coach, Adam Grybauskas, celebrating his 400th career win with a decisive 51-0 victory against Johannesburg-Lewiston, and Walled Lake Central’s Eric McFarland tying for the second-most receptions in a single game in MHSAA history with 19 receptions for 200 yards and four touchdowns in a victory over Waterford Kettering.
Northville Mustangs kicked off their season against Lake Orion before moving forward with KLAA-West play against Plymouth. Last season, they finished 5-2 in conference play and have scheduled various matchups for the upcoming year, including a homecoming game against Canton on October 2.
Amid the victories, coach Luplow experienced significant stress during the close game with Lake Orion, which ended in a 14-13 win thanks to a late interception. While reflecting on the game, he emphasized the grit of his players. Meanwhile, Lake Orion’s coach Chris Bell evaluated his strategic decisions made during the match, including opting for an extra point over a two-point conversion. Quarterback Cooper Derkach led Northville’s offense with determination, even overcoming the challenge of cramps during the match.
As Northville looks ahead to their match against Howell, both players and coaches understand the importance of hard work, strategy, and resilience to boost their chances of victory.
