On his last chance, senior Dominic Gradford helped bring the Wooden Shoe-Mushroom Trophy back to TF North.

The traveling trophy, which features nods to Lansing’s Dutch heritage (the shoe) and Calumet City’s agricultural origins (the mushroom), has been on display most often at TF South. The Red Wolves lead the all-time series between the District 215 rivals 45-22.
