Division Races Heat Up, Postseason Gets Underway

There’s little doubt the spring sports season is hitting its stride about now.

The division races are shaping up.

Players and coaches have shaken off all the rust and are in mid-season form.

Teams, whether they like to admit it or not, are beginning to look ahead to the state playoffs just a few weeks away.

This time of year is, for most prep sports fans, the start of a month-long stretch that includes league-title chases, state playoff runs, and, in rare cases - state championships.

So, let’s not waste any time getting this exciting time of year underway.

Now, let’s get down to business.

-Trenton High Baseball vs. Wyandotte Roosevelt, Monday, May 16, 4 p.m. at Roosevelt. A big game in Downriver League between a pair of top-notch clubs. The Bears can gain some ground with a win, while Trenton needs to keep winning to keep pace with Southgate. At this time of year, every game is important, but this one is a touch more significant than the average game. Catch it. 

-Trenton boys and girls track regionals, Friday, May 20 at Livonia-Ladywood, 12 p.m. State playoffs begin. Need I say more?

-Trenton girls tennis regionals, Friday, May 20 at Grosse Ile, 9 a.m. It’s an early start, but it’s worth it. There is nothing better than the drama, intensity and thrills of the state tournament. Get out there and root the girls on against some of the top teams in the area.
