The Devils traveled to Michigan with one goal in mind, to be crowned state champions of both 4man and 8man. In the 8man tournament on Saturday the Devils came out firing on all cylinders as they dominated their first opponent 32-0. The Devils next two opponents, RC Sports and Downriver Raiders proved to be more of a challenge. Turnovers and missed opportunities kept the games close but wasn't enough to upset the Devils as they moved on to the winners bracket championship game. The next game pitted the Devils with one of their Ohio rivals, Red Zone. The Devils dominated the game early as they went up 13-0, but costly mistakes kept Red Zone in the game as they were able to tie the score at 13 with under a minute remaining. A.J. Saul drove the Devils offense down the field and into field goal range. With 6 seconds remaining Jake Stewart kicked yet another game winning field goal to preserve the Devils victory and move them into the championship game. The Devils met up with Red Zone once again but this time the Devils played mistake-free as they took home the Michigan State Title with a 19-3 victory.

In the 4man tournament on Sunday the Devils started out much the same way as they did on Saturday as they went undefeated on pool play to earn the #2 seed going in to the single-elimination playoff. The game of the day was in the semi-finals as the Devils were matched up against Buckwild (Miami, FL). Buckwild was able to jump out to an early 7-0 and a late touchdown just before halftime put them up 13-0. The Devils opened up the second half determined to make a comeback and that's just what they did as they scored early to make the score 13-7. The Devils scored again with under a minute remaining and converted the extra point to take a 14-13 lead. Buckwild then drove down the field and inside the Devils 5-yard line. On 3rd and goal with 7 seconds remaining, the Devils defense came up with a huge stop to preserve the victory and move on to the championship game. The Devils then met up with the Smooth Criminals in a rematch of the championship games of both the YFFA.net summer cash tournament and the Detroit Sports Club 4man cash tournament. The Devils were in control the entire game as they defeated the Smooth Criminals 27-13 and improve their record to 11-0 on the weekend.
