PREP FOOTBALL: Utica outlasts Warren Cousino; Lakeview topples rival Lake Shore; Chippewa Valley, Warren Mott also record lopsided wins

WARREN – Both Utica and Warren Cousino already knew they had qualified for the postseason, so the two Macomb Area Conference standouts used Friday’s matchup as a final tune-up for the playoffs.

Utica, the MAC White Division co-champion, outlasted host Cousino 42-34 for a MAC crossover win, using a 21-7 second-quarter run to create a little cushion between the two teams before holding on for the eight-point victory.

Utica led 35-21 at the half and 42-21 through three quarters of play before Cousino closed with a 14-0 fourth quarter. The Patriots could not complete the comeback in the wild affair which saw the two potent offenses combine for 77 points.
