Football | Michigan | 2026-10-30 | Final: Swan Valley 44, Notre Dame Prep 7
SAGINAW, Mich. — Swan Valley began its Michigan Division 5 football playoff run with a 44-7 victory over Notre Dame Prep on Friday, October 30. The Vikings established a commanding margin in their postseason opener and advanced to the next round.
MaxPreps records show Swan Valley produced 234 passing yards and 145 rushing yards in the matchup, a combined 379 yards across those two categories. The 37-point winning margin was a sharp contrast to the more tightly contested games elsewhere in the playoff bracket.
The result moved Swan Valley to 9-1 overall. The Vikings had already rebounded from an October 16 loss to Frankenmuth with a 35-6 victory over Bullock Creek on October 23; the Notre Dame Prep win extended that response into the postseason.
Swan Valley is scheduled to host Imlay City on November 6 in the next playoff round. For the Vikings, the immediate task is carrying the balanced production from their opening playoff win into a tougher stage of the bracket.
