Titans seeking home playoff game as Pennfield fights for playoff life

By Mike Moore Staff Writer   Jackson — Two teams set to collide with plenty of desperation on both sidelines.   And even if it’s for entirely different reasons, who cares?   Lumen Christi football coach Herb Brogran reiterated his stance that, at five wins, his team is likely in the 2016 playoffs.   “I’m just not sure how we wouldn’t be,” he said.   But as Brogan and the Titans prep for Friday night’s home tilt with Pennfield, there’s no complacency wearing green and gold.   “We still have a lot to pay for,” Brogan said simply. ““Obviously, we want the sixth win to guarantee a spot, but what’s more, is now we’re playing for a chance to host a playoff game, or two. If we can find a way to win out, I think there’s a great chance we can play at home in the playoffs.”   If that’s going to happen, Lumen needs to get past Pennfield first.   And speaking of desperation, the Panthers were 2-3 just two weeks ago and facing certain playoff elimination.   Two weeks later they are 4-3 and riding a wave of confidence into Jackson Friday night knowing they need two…

Jackson soccer looks to make run in district after record regular season

By Mike Moore Staff Writer   Jackson — The regular season was record breaking, and as Phillip Maurer spoke about it Tuesday afternoon, there were still a few more games to go.   But it less than a week’s time, Maurer and his Jackson soccer team will shift all focus toward a postseason run, to what the guys in orange and black hope is a playoff to remember.   “All year, we haven’t really looked ahead to the playoffs, we’ve taken things one week at a time,” Maurer said. “Well, here it is.”   Almost here, anyway.   The MHSAA soccer postseason officially launches Monday with most teams taking part in district openers.   Most of the rest kick off Tuesday.   For Jackson, there may not have ever been a team more ready, or hitting the second season with more momentum, than the 2016 group is.   The Vikings are 14-5-1 so far, and, as alluded to, have spent the better part of the season editing the program record book.   The current team holds program records for shutouts in a season (nine), goals scored in a season (75) and is tied with the 1994 team for fewest goals…

New restrooms and improved drainage system coming to the MIScamping.com Infield Campground in 2017

BROOKLYN, Mich.  — Construction on the two news restrooms in the MISCamping.com Infield Campground is progressing at Michigan International Speedway. Two original restrooms have been torn down. And footers have been poured for the new structures. The restrooms will be finished in time for the 2017 race season. In addition, updates to the infield draining system will be ready for guests beginning in 2017. “It is exciting to see the progress our team is making to enhance the experience of our infield guests,” track President Rick Brenner said. “It is important to take care of some of the most avid fans who camp with us on race weekend. They are part a part of our community and we want to make their experiences memorable.” The improvements began in the summer with architectural renderings presented to the track for approval. Two of the restroom facilities in the infield will be torn down and completely replaced by two larger restrooms in turns two and three, similar to the bathroom facility in the center of the infield built in 2013. The improvements don’t stop there. NASCAR’s fastest track is improving the drainage system throughout the MISCamping.com Infield. The track will install 70, 18-inch…
