St. Mary Catholic Central seeks support for football schedule changes

Summary

St. Mary Catholic Central will have a challenging football schedule this season, playing games at multiple neighboring schools after losing its home turf at Navarre Field. The Falcons will host two games at Gibraltar Carlson and seek further accommodation from Erie Mason and Ida for the remainder of the season. Athletic director Jared Janssen announced plans for a new field to be built off Nadeau Rd., expected to take a couple of years. Additionally, the school will include a non-league match against Whiteford on August 28, who have emerged as a strong rival in Division 7. The fall season will also be marked by SMCC's impending move to the Detroit Catholic League in 2027.
