• Hats off to the girls hoops squads from (who lost to Grosse Pointe North in the district finals, 41-27); who were also ousted by GPN, but this time in the semifinals, 52-33; and which fell in the district opener to Harper Woods High, 56-42. Despite the losses, each squad played hard and had a great season.
• Kudos to Lake Shore , JacQuan Moore (103 pounds) who wrestled his way to a 6th place finish in the state.
