For the second time in as many years, Coopersville defeated Kenowa Hills in the opening round of the MHSAA playoffs. In both seasons, the Broncos lost a close matchup in the regular season, only to take commanding victories in the post season.

Coopersville opened with an extended drive that saw multiple fourth down conversions and first-half timeouts. They wouldn’t need much more after that as the Broncos defense swarmed the Knight rushing attack and had a secondary of ball hawks that netted four interceptions. The Knights got on the board with a few minutes remaining to negate the shutout, but the Broncos advanced 42-7 to play East Grand Rapids (a rematch of the Bronco victory in 2023) in round 2.
