Shawn Foster had a night to remember. The Grand Ledge senior quarterback lit up the field last Friday in a wild 56-49 win over DeWitt. With just 51 seconds left on the clock, Foster ran 75 yards for the game-winning touchdown. It was his seventh touchdown of the night! 😮
Foster finished the game with 396 rushing yards on 27 carries. That’s not only a school record—it’s a family record too. His dad, also named Shawn Foster, was a star at Lansing Sexton back in the 1990s and played at Michigan State. Now it’s his son’s turn to shine. 🌟
The game was huge for Grand Ledge. This was the Comets’ first win over DeWitt since 2016. The victory moved Grand Ledge to a 5-1 record on the season and gave the team a big boost in league play.
Foster’s seven rushing touchdowns tied for the third-most ever in one game in Michigan high school football history, according to the MHSAA.
Even better—he’s not done yet. Foster is already committed to play college football at Grand Valley State University, where he’ll keep chasing big plays and even bigger dreams.
👏 Way to go, Shawn. Grand Ledge is proud of you!
