Weather Finally Breaks Games Galore for Prep Sports Fans

Alas, three days of good weather in a row!

Perhaps now the joke Mother Nature has been playing on us has finally come to an end.

In fact, we here in the Pick of the Week (POW) Department actually got a little too much sun this past week watching games. 

Our tomato-red cheeks, necks and noses are a sure-fire sign that the games are back on track.

Of course, the massive amounts of rainouts have a positive effect on fans from this point - these teams have to make up these games over the next three weeks or so.

Meaning, an extraordinary amount of baseball, softball, soccer, track, lacrosse, rugby and golf for prep-sports fanatics.

We’ve been working hard to make sure you have an idea of which games to catch and which ones to pass on this week. 

So, let’s get right into the good stuff.

• Eisenhower vs. Grosse Pointe South soccer, 7 p.m. Monday at Grosse Pointe South. Pack a bag for lunch for this trip, but it’s as big a soccer game as you’re going to find in early May. These are the top teams in the Macomb Area Conference Red and they’re squaring off again. Ike won the first meeting at home, but that only means the Blue devils will be even more focused. 
• Eisenhower vs. Grosse Pointe North lacrosse, 7 p.m. Tuesday at Ike. If you’re not familiar with the game - check it out. It’s fast-paced and very exciting, and this game promises to be a pretty good one. 
• Utica vs. Fitzgerald baseball, 4:30 p.m. at Utica. The Chieftains have struggled some out of the gate this season, but this is the game they could turn it around. Here’s a chance to see just what Utica can do.
