General info about the MHSAA Football Playoffs: The 32 teams with the most playoff points based on record and quality of opponents qualify in each Division. As one of the largest high schools in the state, Stevenson plays in Division 1. Those 32 teams are then divided into districts and regions to help minimize travel in the early rounds.
The team with the highest playoff points typically receives a home game in the first three rounds of the playoffs with the option to play Friday night or on Saturday. State semifinals are played Saturday afternoon at a neutral site and the final takes place at Ford Field.
Due to Michigan State playing a game at Ford Field on Saturday 11/29, the Division 1 Final in 2025 will be played on Sunday 11/30.
Marching Bands from both schools are welcome (but not required) to perform at all MHSAA football playoff games with each band allotted half of the time.

Mandatory current-year physicals are a UCS rule for the safety of all members of the Marching Band and must be completed and uploaded to Big Teams by August 1, 2025.

It is critically important to have a proper water container available during marching band activities - throughout the season.
Having their own water source helps ensure the marcher has access to get the hydration they need in the most safe, effective, and hygienic way possible.
1/2 gallon or 1 gallon water jugs as pictured below can be found at retailers such as Target, Amazon.com, Walmart, and more. Every marcher should have one!
