Belding Black Knights looking to extend success

Belding is coming off its best season since 1998 and hoping for continued success as the high school football season nears.

BELDING, Mich. - Opening night for high school football in Michigan is Thursday, Aug. 23, which means the 13 ON YOUR SIDE sports department has a lot of scouting to do before the first 13 On Your Sidelines show that same night.

We're crisscrossing the area letting you know about as many West Michigan football programs as we can.

The Belding Black Knights finished in second place in the OK Silver and won their first ever District Championship last year. However, they'll be without do-it-all running back James Daniel, so the running game will have a new look.

Five of their nine wins last season were by seven points or less. Hopefully the Black Knights learned from those close games, because they think they could be on the verge of a longer playoff run.

Belding opens up the year against Laingsburg.
