Yellow Jackets aim for another title - WNEM TV 5

It's a Mid-Michigan football dynasty in Ithaca, where the Yellow Jackets are looking for their third consecutive state championship.

It has been nearly three years since Ithaca lost a game.

And in that time frame, Terry Hessbrook has seen his teams go 28-0.

With Travis Smith returning as quarterback and a trio of starters returning on the receiving corps, Ithaca looks like the favorite to win the title again.

The newest addition to Yellowjacket football is not a player, but a major renovation to the football stadium that includes a video board, thought to be the biggest in the state for a high school team.

With battle tested players and a top-notch coaching staff, this year's team could raise the bar even higher in Ithaca.

The Yellowjackets 2012 regular season kicks off at Williamston on Thursday night.
