Red Arrows are District Champs!
Final from Red Arrow Stadium: LHS 35, Caledonia 7. Great work by the defense all night long to keep Cali’s offense out of the end zone. Their only touchdown came on an interception in the second quarter. Rebroadcast of the game at 1 PM tomorrow on Lowell Comcast Cable 20, and again Wednesday on Comcast channel 900 (check listings for time).
Massey ranks Red Arrows #1 in NATION!
Pretty cool. But Coach Dean and the boys know they have to take the season one game at a time. First up: Lansing Everett, Friday night, 7:30. Gates open at 6:00 PM, and everyone pays $5 to get in. If you can’t make it, tune in as I call the play-by-play on WLHS.
Red Arrows – OK White Champs!
Congrats to the Lowell High School Red Arrows on their OK White championship! A convincing 35-12 win over East Grand Rapids gives LHS a 9-0 record heading into the playoffs next week. Playoff pairings will be posted Sunday at 7 PM on MHSAA.com. Go Arrows!
Pink Arrow Update
Holy cow! Not a pink t-shirt remains at the LHS Spirit Store or Pep Talk. Word is that Pep Talk will receive 1,000 before tomorrow’s game, but many have been spoken for. If you want one, get to Pep Talk NOW!
Here’s a suggestion for next year: Let’s take this campaign across the OK Conference. Designate one week as the OK Pink Week, and have every sport, in every school, participate in cancer awareness projects. Coach Dean and the LHS football team have kicked off something very special in Lowell – let’s encourage everyone to contribute!
Hey, it’s for a good cause!
How are your retinas doing? Burning, you say? Well, it’s just for a week, and it’s to remind you of a great cause that will reach a fever pitch on September 12. Pink Arrow Week will wrap up with the home football opener at Red (Pink?) Arrow Stadium against Holland High School. Remember, everyone wearing a Pink Arrow Force t-shirt gets in free. Shirts and other great Pink Arrow accessories are available at Pep Talk in downtown Lowell. T-shirts are also available at the LHS Spirit Store: $20 for adults, $15 for students.
Red Arrow Football – Week One Recap
Great start for the Red Arrows as they beat the Davison Cardinals, 42-7 in Davison. The Red Arrow defense regrouped after giving up a 66-yard touchdown pass, shutting out Davison for the remainder of the game. On offense, the big ol’ linemen got the job done, creating holes for Austin Graham and providing plenty of protection for Kyle Nichol.
Next up, Mona Shores! Gametime is 7 PM, and you can hear it on WLHS.
Calling all TiVo Users
Would someone please TiVo tonight’s speech in Mile High Stadium? Can’t blog it because I’m the voice of Red Arrow Football tonight in Davison. Feel free to tune in on WLHS.
Go Pink Arrows!

The only high school in the country known as the Red Arrows, Lowell High School (MI) will be known as the Pink Arrows on Friday, September 12. This is a great opportunity for everyone in West Michigan to get involved in the fight against breast cancer. Get your Pink Arrow t-shirts at Pep Talk in downtown Lowell – wear your shirt to receive free admission to the Lowell-Holland football game September 12.
