From the Grand Rapids Press:

Hopkins' senior running back Cameron Crowe, who rushed for 334 yards in last week's win, finished with 223 yards on 20 carries against Berrien Springs and scored three touchdowns.

"This win was for coach. He's a great coach, he's a legend here," Crowe said. "I feel honored. I think our whole team feels honored to get his 200th win for him."

Hopkins scored 25 unanswered points in the third quarter, including a 71-yard touchdown run by Crowe sprinting around the right end.

Hopkins, now 9-2 on the season, will face top-ranked Muskegon Oakridge (11-0), next Friday at Oakridge.
