ROMEO, Mich. — Eleven games. Eleven victories. Now comes another major test.
The undefeated Romeo Bulldogs will host Rochester Hills Stoney Creek on Friday, November 13, in an MHSAA Division 1 regional championship with a trip to the state semifinals on the line.

Stoney Creek, meanwhile, improved to 9–2 after defeating Rochester Adams 21–7 to claim its district championship.
