FLINT – Swartz Creek’s football team made school history Thursday night.

Until this season, the Dragons had qualified for the Michigan high school football just two times since playoffs began in 1975. But they had never advanced to the second round.

Until Thursday.

Swartz Creek extended the best football season in school history by beating visiting Carman-Ainsworth 28-6 in the opening round of the Division 2 playoffs.

The Dragons will play the winner of Friday’s game between Traverse City Central (5-1) and Saginaw Heritage (0-5) in next week’s second round for a spot in the Nov. 13-14 district finals.

Senior Brennen Larion scored three rushing touchdowns for the Dragons and John Pavelchek added another TD after taking a blocked punt into the end zone as Swartz Creek raised its record to 5-2.

This year marked the second time in three seasons the Dragons made the playoffs. They lost to 50-28 to Midland in the opening round of the 2018 playoffs after falling 53-27 to Caledonia in the first round of the 2012 postseason.

Carman-Ainsworth, which fell to 1-6, scored its only TD on a 30-yard pass from Gavin Glassetter to Terrence Meux with 3:37 left in the second quarter after Creek took a 14-0 lead.

Larion rushed 22 times for 195 yards, Noah Kalakay rushed for 77 more yards, Cameron Spencer had 10 tackles and Andrew Booth added nine tackles.

It was the first playoff game in Swartz Creek’s renovated football complex.

Kearsley 61, Clio 0

Braylon Silvas had a game they’ll be talking about at Kearsley for years to come.

The senior quarterback had a hand in eight of Kearsley’s nine touchdowns, rushing for five and passing for three more as the Hornets (4-3) moved into next week’s Division 3 second round against the winner of Friday’s game between Pontiac (0-6) and Bay City Central (3-3).

Silvas completed 8 of 16 passes for 162 yards while rushing 13 times for 173 yards.

The only Kearsley TD that escaped Silvas was a 29-yard run by Donovan Harrington that completed the scoring with 6:19 left.

Kearsley had 392 total yards to 49 for Clio, which finished the season 0-7.

Jace Chapman had 70 receiving yards on four catches for Kearsley and Terrance Cooper made nine tackles.

Logan Potter made an interception for Clio.

Kearsley led 40-0 at halftime.

Mayville 40, Genesee 28

In 8-player Division 1, Genesee finished with a 4-3 record after losing for the third time in four games following a 3-0 start.

Alton Davis led the Wolves by rushing for 151 yards and one touchdowns while passing for 160 yards and two TDs. Keaton Jobson had six receptions for 140 yards and two touchdowns.

Mayville improved to 7-0.

Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic crushed by 'lucky loser' Lorenzo Sonego in Vienna quarters WATCH AND READ Djokovic suffers worst loss of career Novak Djokovic lost for only the third time this year after a listless effort in the Erste Bank Open quarterfinals and walked away happy. The top-ranked Djokovic lost his first meeting with 42nd-ranked Lorenzo Sonego of Italy 6-2, 6-1. It was his heaviest ever defeat in a three-set match. The only other time the Serb had won just three games was at the 2005 Australian Open at the hands of Marat Safin in a best-of-five set encounter. He lacked power in his groundstrokes and produced a string of mistakes. He fell 4-0 behind, and won just five points on Sonego's serve in the opening set. In the second, Djokovic missed all six break points before conceding his service game for a fifth time when Sonego closed out the win with a passing shot. Sonego shocked the world no.1.

Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby’s Latest Mugshot Trending On Social Media As He Appears To Be Smiling PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) — Bill Cosby’s latest mugshot is trending on social media. The 83-year-old convicted felon appears to be smiling in his latest mugshot made available to the public. Cosby is serving a three- to 10-year prison term for felony sex assault. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will hear Cosby’s appeal of his 2018 conviction on Dec. 1. Cosby, a once-beloved comedian long known as “America’s Dad,” became the first celebrity convicted of sexual misconduct in the #MeToo era when he was convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his home near Philadelphia in 2004. Cosby was arrested in December 2015, days before the statute of limitations would have run, after his deposition became public and prosecutors reopened the case. In his testimony, he acknowledged giving accuser Andrea Constand unidentified pills that night that she said knocked her out. Cosby’s lawyers called the encounter c

Abortion, Racism, Sexual Assault and National Security: How Sentinel Awards Honor TV’s Toughest Topics At 98 years old, people would likely forgive Norman Lear if he decided to take a night off here and there. But Tuesday night, the legendary TV creator not only showed up to the Sentinel Awards, he turned on the charm by complimenting co-host Rainn Wilson on his comedic work and summed up the experience of attending as “one of the highlights of my life.” The virtual gathering marked the 20th anniversary of the Sentinel Awards, an event that recognizes outstanding TV storylines that inform and motivate viewers. It is presented by Hollywood, Health & Society, a program of the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center, hence why he got asked to be there in the first place. Speaking of questions, during a brief kick-off conversation, Wilson asked Lear why he opted to tell stories on television rather than any other medium. His answer: “Life just sometimes happens.” There was more meat to his re
