GRANDVILLE, Mich -- Grandville shared the OK Red conference title for the second straight season in 2016. Perhaps more important, they beat Rockford to win the Division 1 district championship, the Bulldogs' first win over Rockford since 2005.

Grandville was led by an outstanding defense that allowed just 83 points in 12 games, but this season the Bulldogs return just one starter from that defense. That starter, safety Keaton Hamilton, and head coach Eric Stiegel, joined Bret Bakita and Jason Hutton at practice.
