On a similar note, the combined efforts of all Hartland varsity football players in the classroom (3.62 GPA) resulted in the school grabbing the 13th spot on the MHSFCA Academic All-State list for Division 1 schools. Way to go, boys! Now back to the books — next year we're gunning for the top dog, Troy (3.92 GPA)!
