Unsung defensive hero seals district title for Dakota in 41-14 win over Eisenhower
MACOMB COUNTY — In an election year defined by a polarized electorate, Macomb County residents opted to stick with the government they have. The county’s prosecutor, clerk, sheriff, treasurer and public works commissioner — all incumbent officeholders — were each elected to another term on Nov. 5, with statewide Election Day trends favoring Republican candidates in all but one of the races among Macomb County’s top administrative officials.

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — The Macomb Dakota defense has been highly discussed throughout the course of the season, and for good reason. Dakota has guys like senior defensive lineman Logan Criteser, who just broke the single-season school sack record with 14.5, and a host of other talented athletes like seniors Aiden Lindsay (DL), Tyler Torey (DL), Brady Hamby (LB), Di’Mari Malone (LB) and Jacob Bajis (DB) leading the way.

There’s no shortage of leadership and talent, but sometimes it’s the player who doesn’t make the weekly headlines who ignites the defense. As Dakota (10-1) exacted its revenge Nov. 8 at Dakota High School for a regular season loss to Utica Eisenhower (8-3), who beat Dakota 21-14 Oct. 11 for a share of the Macomb Area Conference Red title, it was junior defensive back Dominic Vanvliet who had his moment in the spotlight, tallying two interceptions, including a would-be game-sealing interception late in the third quarter.
