Cheerleaders Take Title; Fordson Wrestlers Go to Regionals

First of all, let me start out by saying a big "thank you” to everyone who e-mailed in response to . The response was really great, and as a result, this little column is going to be better.

Please keep these comments, suggestions and ideas coming.

This week we’re going to take a few moments to look back at some of the week’s highlights, as well as look forward to some of the events you might want to catch over the next week or so.

A Look Back

• Kudos to the sideline cheer team for its . Way to go, girls!
• were very successful for Dearborn —winning a district title with a 58-20 trouncing of Garden City in the finals.

• Congrats to the Pioneers boys basketball team, which edged rival Fordson Friday night, 67-57. It was a great win in a great rivalry game.

A Look Ahead

• ­Obviously, wrestling regionals on Feb. 16 are at top of the list. They'll be held at the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park in Canton. The Fordson squad locks horns with Detroit Catholic Central in the opening match. Canton or Livonia Franklin (depending on who wins in their matchup) could then stand between the Tractors and the regional title. This should be a great wrestling showdown. Make the drive to Canton if you can. You won’t be sorry.
• Another rivalry game is on the schedule—this time it’s Dearborn High vs. boys varsity basketball. The Pioneers got the best of Edsel in the first meeting earlier this season, but that doesn’t matter much at this point. The Thunderbirds will be looking to impress the home fans with a victory. The game is slated for 7 p.m. Feb. 15.
• Not to sound redundant, but the girls square off at 5:30 p.m.—same day, same place. Can you think of a better way to spend an evening than watching this double-header of hoops delight? We can't.
