GL Football, GL Athletics, & the GL Community were devastated to learn yesterday of the sudden passing of Heather Kleiman. Heather began her 19th season this fall at GLHS as our Head Athletic Trainer. She's believed to be the longest tenured HS Athletic Trainer in Mid-Michigan.
Grand Ledge Football mourns the passing of Arv Pettit. Our thanks for his strong support of Grand Ledge sports, and our condolences to his family and friends.
Down 13-33 early in the 4th quarter, Grand Ledge waged a relentless comeback against Holland West Ottawa and pulled ahead in the last minute with a game-winning field game. COMET VICTORY!

Congrats to

as he finished his college career last month. After playing for Hillsdale, he grad transferred to CMU. Cole repped GL in a way all Comets can be proud of! Congrats Cole on a great career & good luck off the field going forward!
Go Comets!
In addition to honoring our Fallen Heroes tonight, you will also notice a sticker on the back of our players helmets with the initials “HK”. This sticker is being worn on the backs of all players helmets this season in honor of our former trainer Heather Kleiman (1/2).
COMETS WIN.
WO storms back in 4th 30-24. GL tied it 30-30 (missed XP) late in 4th. WO goes 70 yds before a Preston Bohnet INT in EZ w/ 90 sec left. Frosh RB Anthony Baker busted a 79 yd run to 1 yard line before another TD with 20 seconds left! GL would stop WO on victory D!
The season ended Saturday in the Regional Finals against top-10 ranked Caledonia. While we wish we were still playing, this group has a TON to be proud of. Especially the seniors for all they accomplished in their four years! Congrats to these young men! (1/3)
Heather was a member of our GL Football Family for 19 seasons with 3 different Coaches: O'Keefe, Bird, & Brya. 123 wins, 7 conf. titles, 13 playoffs, 3 district titles, 1 regional title, & Final 4. The wins & championships are not possible without her. She will be greatly missed.
