Four years ago, Midland High's football team trailed Lowell 28-7 before staging arguably the most dramatic postseason comeback in Chemics' history. On Friday, the deficit was even greater, but the Chemics nearly pulled off another incredible rally. Host Grand Blanc withstood a furious second-half comeback by Midland, holding on to win 49-35 in a Division 1 district final and advancing to next Saturday's 1 p.m. regional title game at top-ranked Rockford. Midland, which trailed 35-7 at halftime but pulled to within seven points late in the game, finishes at 9-2. "I'm just really proud of the kids, the way they fought back," said Chemics' coach Eric Methner. "They battled. They showed what they're all about. I'm proud of them. The last game of the year, it's hard to look the kids in the eyes and see the pain, because they sacrifice a lot."
