• Week 6 football power rankings: Shepherd, Farwell climb after statement wins (themorningsun.com) — Clare football fans will notice the Pioneers sliding to No. 9 in the latest area power rankings after surrendering a 13-point halftime lead in a 14-13 loss to Gladwin. The rankings highlight how Clare's inconsistency contrasts with surging nearby programs like Shepherd, Farwell, and Harrison, and stress that the Pioneers still have the talent to rebound if they can finish games stronger.
