Ike Soccer Prevails, Big Games Ahead for Both Utica and Ike

Well sports fans, the weather promises to be a touch better this week. 

So, working under that assumption, we here in the Pick of the Week Department are going to bring to you a slate of upcoming games with the hopes that you actually might be able to see them.

The rainouts, delays and postponements have been nothing short of unprecedented and haven’t done much to get anybody fired up about the season. 

That, however, changes this week. 

We believe we’re going to actually get some game in this week.

But, before we look ahead - we’re going to take a quick look back at some of the more notable happenings last week (of the few games that actually got played).

We have to tip our collective caps to the soccer team at Ike this past week, who held of a very good Grosse Pointe South team last Wednesday night to stay atop the Macomb Area Conference Red.

Great job Lady Eagles.

Also, we need to send out kudos to Utica’s girls soccer team who blnked Dakota High, 5-0, this past week.

Now, let’s take a look at the week ahead.

• The Chieftains baseball squad plays host to division rival Port Huron High Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m.
• Ike’s boys lacrosse team locks horns with L’Anse Creuse North Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. For fans not familiar with the game - check this one out. You’ll see two quality teams playing a fast-paced, exciting contest.
