Wakefield ran up the season's largest score in routing L'Anse, 75-12, last Saturday to finish its first undefeated season in history. Two conference races also were decided during the final weekend.

Now that is quite a problem, wouldn't you say? The Michigan State dominance in football isn't likely to end in immediate future.
