Bay City Central Wolves might be thinking they belong in the playoffs after their 55-6 rout of Flint Central Friday night.
"If we can win out we will make the playoffs this year," said Tim Marciniak principal at Bay City Central.
Standing at (3-2, 2-2) with Midland Dow, Heritage, and Western still on their schedule the Wolves won't have it as easy as they did this past Friday night.
With a display of speed and a swarming defense the Wolves blitzed the Phoenix often and caused 4 turnovers.

Justin Reed had two interceptions in the first quarter, his first snatch he returned 48 yards to set up Luther Ware's first of four touchdowns.
With Reed's second steal of the first quarter he would not be denied returning 78 yards to the end zone. Ware who sat the whole second half after running all over the field for 165 yards on 16 carries, scored from 9,1,9,and 6 yards out.
Trenton Robinson ran to pay dirt from nine yards out in between Ware's third and fourth touchdown. The Wolves were up 48-0 before Flint Central scored their lone touchdown with six seconds left before the half.
Coach Morley Fraser enjoyed the luxury of resting most of his starters after straight shooting Dylan Byington felt the end zone adrenalin by catching Mike Schepper's two yard pass with two defenders draped all over him in the third quarter.
In the Wolves kicking duel Ryan Brunette had one more (4) extra point kick than fellow team mate Mitch Martens.
The Wolves defense was the catalyst for this victory by swarm tackling and pressuring Flint Central's quarterbacks as soon as they touched the ball.
The speed the Wolves showed was exactly what they expected going into this season and if they maintain that intensity and mistake free offense they just might make the play-offs.
The Wolves hope to keep it on track as they travel to Midland Dow this Friday.
