As Matt Koziak, the head football coach at Shores, was leaving Joe Chan’s Bistro Sunday night after the team’s watch party, athletic director Ryan Portenga handed him a complimentary fortune cookie.

Koziak opened it, read the fortune, looked up, and smirked as he slid it in his pocket.

The fortune cookie read, “Opportunities lie beyond like new frontiers... It’s time to travel.”

Today, the Sailors will travel to Lowell as Shores makes its first ever playoff appearance as the Sailors square off against the Red Arrows at 7 p.m.

Lowell secured the top seed in the Division 2 district, which also has the Big Reds of Muskegon and the Rockets of Reeths-Puffer playing each other, by going a perfect 9-0 in regular season play.

“We were thinking we would get Lowell,” said head coach Matt Koziak, who is in his third season as coach. “We couldn’t be more excited. It’ll be an awesome test to see where we really are as a team.”

This is Koziak’s first time facing Lowell as a Sailor.

He coached against them three times during his tenure as a coach at Muskegon before coming to Shores, once as their head coach and twice as assistant.

“I am familiar with them. I’ve seen

how they play a couple times now first hand,” Koziak said. “This is not my first time preparing for Lowell.”

Koziak said preparing for Lowell will be no different than how Shores has prepared for any team during the season. The only change will be the temperature, which will be a little colder than the previous nine weeks.

“(This playoff game against Lowell) is just another game we have to prepare for,” senior wide receiver Logan Smith said. “Every team from here on out will be great, so we might as well get the best done first.”

Koziak brought up some JV players last week to help the team toward a playoff victory. He said this will bring

more depth to the roster and get more things accomplished each day during practice having more bodies.

“Each day this week leading up to Friday has been crucial,” senior cornerback Matt Rose said. “We had to maintain focus and get better every day.”

Lowell plays mainly man-to-man coverage on defense which could be a favorable matchup to the high-powered, fast, Sailor offense.

“We have weapons that can hurt Lowell’s man-to-man defense,” Koziak said. “They play aggressive, and I think that we can use that and make big plays.”

The Sailor defense will have to come up big against a Lowell offense that averages 44 points a game. Their quarterback, Kyler Shurlow, is known to make plays with both his arm and his legs.

“We have to be tough up front on the line,” Koziak said. “They’ve got a great quarterback, so we have to create long situations for him. The key to this game is to stop them offensively and put our offense in good situations.”

Anchoring the Sailor defense at linebacker is one of the captains, senior Jake Workman, who cannot wait for kickoff.

“I could not be more excited to play Lowell. I think we can come out in the first round and make a statement by beating them. Everyone just has to be focused and know their individual jobs,” Workman said. “When we do this, we are a tough team to beat.”

Sailors qualify for playoffs for first time

For the first time in school history, the Sailors qualified for the play-offs, jumping out to a 33-0 lead on Homecoming night and never looking back. Junior Tyree Jackson hit senior Asantay Brown for a 33-yard touchdown pass to take a 7-0 lead on Shores’ first posses-sion. Shores scored again on its next possession when sophomore Dom Shermeta had a 9-yard scoring run. The Sailors made it three touchdowns on three possessions in the first quarter when Jackson hit Brown with a 22-yard scoring strike that gave Shores a 19-0 lead. The onslaught continued in the second quarter when Jackson con-nected with senior Marquon Sargent on a 42-yard touchdown pass. Three minutes later, Shermeta scored from 1-yard out, giving Shores a 33-0 lead. Zeeland East got on the scoreboard late in the first half, leaving the Sailors with a 33-6 halftime edge. Sargent kept the mo-mentum going on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, taking a pitch from Jackson and exploding for a 54-yard touchdown run. Zeeland East scored again with 3:32 left in the third quarter. The Sailors finished their assault late in the third quarter when Jackson hit Sargent for a 57-yard touchdown. The visitors added two touchdowns in the final minutes of the contest, but it was too little, too late.

“Overall, the team did well. The defense shut down the running game, and the offense executed well. We shut them

down in the second half. We thought before the game that this was the big one. this one would put us in the playoffs and into

Shores history.” – Connor Cannella, senior

In a back-and-forth contest, Reeths-Puffer came out on top in the cross-town rivalry. Shores scored first on a two-yard TD run by senior Asantay Brown, and with the extra point, took a 7-0 lead. Following the Sailors’ first score, Reeths-Puffer needed just three plays to score, but the Rockets missed the PAT. However, the Rockets benefited from a fumble recovery on the Sailors ensuing drive, turning it into six points for a 12-7 lead. After trading punts, the Rockets made it 19-7. Shores cut the Rocket lead to six (19-13) with an 83-yard, 12-play drive. Brown scored on a four-yard pass from junior Tyree Jackson. But the Rockets punched right back, putting together a 14-play drive, making it 25-13. Shores eventually made it 25-20 when Jackson took the keeper up the middle and ran untouched for the score. After a Rocket punt, the Sailors needed just two plays to score after a 68-yard TD pass from Jackson to Brown. Jackson connected with Brown again on the two-point conversion try to give Shores the 28-25 lead. Reeths-Puffer answered, driving 63-yards in 10 plays to take the 32-28 lead. The Sailors had two chances to drive to the winning score, the first ending on a fourth-and-25 punt, the sec-ond ending with a Jackson interception. Jackson finished 18-of-29 passes for 308 yards and also scored on a 10-yard run. Brown caught 14 balls for 255 yards and two TDs.

“Obviously, the game did not go as planned. We kind of shot ourselves in the foot. We didn’t execute plays well, we got in a dog fight,

and we didn’t do what coach asked of us.” – Asantay Brown, senior

Historical Significance

By Holly FredericksenSports Editor

Even though the Shores football team lost its final four games last year to finish 4-5, head coach Matt Koziak knew the Sailors were headed in the right direction.

“I could tell the second after we lost our last regular season game to Reeths-Puffer in 2012 (we were going to be a winning team),” third-year coach Matt Koziak said. “I knew this team had the work ethic, character, bond, and talent to be really special.”

When the football team travels to Lowell tonight, it will be playing the first playoff game Shores has ever had in its 52 years of football history.

“We are taking the playoffs the same way we took the season: one game at a time,” junior Tyree Jackson said. “We don’t want to look past any teams. If we lose, it’s all done.”

After putting in countless hours in the weight room and preseason training, the Sailors clinched magic win number six in their conference game against Zeeland East on Oct. 11. A 6-3 record is required for a team to move on to the postseason, and Shores has a 7-2 record.

“It was such a good feeling (to make the playoffs),” senior Cody Schneider said, “especially after all the hard work our team has put in since the end of last season. Just to be the first to do something is another great feeling.”

At the beginning of the season, the team set three goals: to make playoffs, to win the conference, and to win the state championship.

“We set many goals this year, long term and short term,” Koziak said. “So far, we got one out of the two. The playoffs will determine the third.”

In the 50th meeting between the two schools, Shores (1-0) scored the game’s final 18 points to erase a 16-7 deficit. The Sailors, who were coached by assistant Todd Conrad because head coach Matt Koziak was suspended two games for a recruiting violation, saw the Crusaders jump out to a 10-0 lead. Shores senior Asantay Brown rushed for a 27-yard score to close the gap to 10-7, but MCC took a 16-7 at the half. The second half belonged to the Sail-ors. Junior quarterback Tyree Jackson connected with senior Marquon Sar-gent for a 27-yard TD to make it 16-13, and on the ensuing drive, Shores took the lead when Jackson hit senior Logan Smith for a 29-yard touchdown toss. The PAT was blocked, making it 19-16. Shores wrapped up the scoring when sophomore Hunter Broersma raced 86 yards to make the final score 25-16. The Shores defense held the Crusaders to 18 total yards in the second half.

“The team came out flat without coach Koziak, but we dealt with the ad-versity and came out and played well in the second half, especially the defense, which was spectacular. The more experienced varsity players played well, but the newer players were nervous. – Simon Karel, junior

The Sailors, again without suspended coach Matt Koziak, held the Lakers scoreless through three quarters to raise their record to 2-0. The Sailors took an early lead in the game with a 62-yard run by sophomore Hunter Broersma and a 6-yard reception by senior Marquon Sargent, respectively. The Lakers attempted to fight back in the second quarter, but their attempt was stopped by junior Michael Smith’s interception on the Sailors 3-yard line. Broersma then scored on a 97-yard TD reception to add to Shores score, 20-0. Sargent then added two more receiving touchdowns. Junior quarterback Tyree Jackson was 15-for-26 for 294 yards and 5 TDs in the air. Senior Logan Smith hauled in four catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. Senior Malik Taylor led the defense with 10 tackles while senior Jake Workman tallied 9.

“The team played well overall. We stonewalled on defense, and the offense played well. We had them shut down by the second quarter. The team communicated well, and we didn’t have many penalties.

We were well prepared from our practices.” – Bryton Woirol, senior

For the first time in 33 years, Shores opened the season 3-0. The Sailors, in the return game of head coach Matt Koziak, got on the board just 33 seconds into the game when junior quarterback Tyree Jackson hit senior Asantay Brown on a screen pass, and Brown raced for a 61-yard TD. Jackson then hit senior Logan Smith for a 26-yard touchdown reception, and junior DeOntay Moffett added a 1-yard TD run for a 20-0 Sailor lead at the end of the first quarter. After the Scots scored, Jackson hooked up with Brown for a 46-yard TD. Caledonia made it 26-13 at the half. After the Scots cut the deficit to 26-20 early in the third quarter, Jack-son hooked up with Brown one more time, this time a 23-yard TD pass. Jackson completed 14-of-24 passes for 299 yards and four touchdowns. Deontay Moffett rushed 19 times for 84 yards.

“We jumped out to an early lead and ran the clock down in the second half. We had a phenomenal passing game with the offensive

line having good pass protection. Also, the defense had a key goal-line stand in the fourth quarter.” – Blake Cramer, junior

Wrapping up the regular season, the Sailors put an exclamation on the his-torical season. Sophomore Dom Shermeta and senior Marquon Sargent both scored three touchdowns to lead the Sailors, who finished in third place in the OK Black behind Muskegon and Reeths-Puffer. Shermeta, who rushed 18 times for 173 yards, scored on a pair of 1-yard runs and from 15 yards. Sargent, who caught four passes for 124 yards, had three touchdown grabs of 19, 25 and 38 yards from junior quarterback Tyree Jackson, who was 9-of-11 passing for 181 yards and four touchdowns. Sophomore Hunter Broersma caught an 8-yard TD pass also for Shores. Defensively, senior Asantay Brown and sophomore Tyler Trovinger each had an interception.

“We all came together and never split up. We performed well in the second half. The first half was a little shaky because of defense,

but we kept pushing harder and harder.” – Austin Wingett, junior

Season Stats

Sailors qualify for playoffs for first time

A standing room crowd of 10,000 saw Muskegon break a 20-20 tie with 5:59 left in the game on a 53-yard TD pass from DeShaun Thrower to Tavon Jackson to hand Shores (4-1) its first loss. Shores, which was look-ing for its first win over the Big Reds since 1982, led 12-7 at the half. Muskegon opened the scoring with a 12-yard touchdown run, and Shores countered with a 6-yard touchdown run by senior Asantay Brown and a 53-yard touchdown pass from junior Tyree Jackson to Brown. However, Muskegon scored early in the third quarter to take a 14-12 lead. Later in the quarter, Muskegon scored again to take a 20-12 lead. Shores had a quick response for that touchdown with a score of its own as Jackson hooked up with Brown for a 9-yard score. Trailing by two, the Sailors went for the tie and got it when Jack-son found senior Logan Smith in the corner of the end zone for two points to tie the game at 20-all before the Big Reds came up with the big play. Jackson completed 22-of-34 passes for 262 yards. Brown caught nine for 124 yards, and senior Marquon Sargent caught four passes for 90 yards.

Even though we lost, we still put up a good fight, stuck together and held up against a state-ranked team. This was the first game we really bonded. The

chemistry among us was stronger. We executed plays efficiently, but we need to start as strong as we finish and continue the fight.” – Andrew Gaskin, senior

Shores opened its home schedule with a win to start 4-0 for the first time since 1980. The Sailors built a 28-7 lead in front of 6,000 fans but had to hold off the Bucs to se-cure the win. Sophomore Hunter Broersma, who led the attack with nine carries for 69 yards and two passes for 36 yards, scored three first-half touchdowns. Senior Asantay Brown caught eight passes from for 153 yards, which included a 32-yard touchdown pass from junior Tyree Jackson, who finished 13-of-21 for 200 yards. Jackson also scored on a 9-yard run.

“The game went well. We improved on some minor problems from the week before. It was exciting to beat them on their Homecoming. People made their

blocks, and the passes were accurate, which also made catches more frequent.” – TJ Daniels, senior

The game went pretty well. We played more confidently. We had never beaten them before, so it was a big win. This was one of our better games on both of-

fense and defense.” – Rudy Fierros, senior

During the first quarter, ju-nior Tyree Jackson avoids Grand Haven’s Dakota Juarez. Jackson, who had a 9-yard TD run, was 13-for-21 for 200 yards passing.
