Yellow Jackets Buzzing

The Detroit Country Day varsity football team showed why they are contenders by dominating Clawson in a 49-14 win Friday night in Beverly Hills. The Yellow Jackets extended their winning streak to seven games after starting the 2013 campaign 0-3.

“Our guys have showed a lot of fortitude. It would have been easy to make excuses but they’ve done a very good job of staying together and that has been the key to our success,” Head Coach Dan MacLean told miprepzone.com.

The Yellow Jackets look to extend their season against Pontiac Notre Dame Prep. (8-2), which defeated Dearborn Heights Robichaud 33-6 on Friday.
