Championship game statistics. Complete Division 3 Bracket.

MHSAA's Scott DeCamp's article on DeWitt's game and season.

In 2024, the Panthers set the state record for total yards of offense with 6,715. Yes, THE state record.

Most ever.

As of this writing, the 2025 Panthers are in second place in the State with 6,697 just behind the 2024 team. Yes, the Panthers, two consecutive seasons have broken the old state record of total offense in a season set by Ottawa Lake Whiteford in 2017 with 6,570 yards. They own the top two most prolific offensive yardage totals in a season. Two seasons they blocked for 13,412 yards, about 7.62 miles.

The 2025 team also owns the state record for most rushing yards in a season with 5,638. They bypassed the Edwardsburg record of 5,490 set in 2017.

In 2024, the Panthers were in second place for touchdowns in a season with 101. Yes, all time touchdowns in a season. Ever.
Ottawa Lake Whiteford, has the record for most touchdowns in a season with 103. The 2025 Panthers scored 102 touchdowns in a season. DeWitt owns two of the top three seasons with most touchdowns.

The guys pictured above, the front five from 2025. Just home from capturing the Division 3 state championship and setting the state record in a championship game for total offense, rushing offense and total rushing touchdowns. With offensive line coach Tim Williams, Landon Fitzpatrick, Drew Rumsey, Sam VanZee, Jackson Hildebrant and Luke Nolen. Missing are tight ends Jacob Schorfhaar and Caedin Martin-Seymour, they were getting pictures taken somewhere else. The 2024 team graduated Cooper Popoff and Will Hayes and VanZee and Fitzpatrick filled right in for 2025.

This unit was part of the two most prolific offenses in state football history. Pretty cool.
