High Schools Gear Up for Playoffs

We’re going to keep this week’s edition of the Pick of the Week short and to the point.

Why?

Well it’s because the forecast. For once this season it looks favorable and the state playoffs are about to get underway in both baseball and softball. The district round is slated to start with pre-district competition Tuesday, while the rest of the round wraps up on Friday, in a few cases, and Saturday.

We don’t want to jinx the weather so let’s not spend a lot of time rambling about how teams may come in with less games than normal under their belts, thus tipping the scale to more experienced baseball and softball teams this season more than usual, and get right to the point.

Hold up, first of all, lets take a second to congratulate softball standout, , for signing on to play softball next season at Lake Superior State.

Way to go Ali!

Also, we would be flat-out crazy not to tip our caps to the soccer squad from . The girls went an amazing 12-0 in the Macomb Area Conference Silver (12-2-1 overall) and deserve a community-wide round of applause.

We’ll be rooting for you in the postseason!
