Wins stacking up as Concord boys basketball team continues to roll
By Mike Moore Staff Writer Concord — Out of the gate, there was trouble in the water. At least that’s what the record would have suggested. Yet, as Concord boys basketball coach Matt Lehman guided his guys through the first five games of the season, and the 1-4 record, there was never really any sense of concern. “That early competition was real good for us,” Lehman said Wednesday night. “We played some very solid teams right off the bat. I think, even at 1-4, we knew we had played some good teams and had done some good things.” Lehman certainly challenged his guys, taking on Michigan Center, Vandercook Lake, Reading, Hanover-Horton and Dexter in the first five games. The lone win was 63-40 drubbing of Reading. “You can put together a schedule to go 20-0, and I don’t know what good that does for you,” Lehman said. “We played some tough teams, played in some tough games and got ready for the rest of the year.” So, with those early games serving as a true test, and the reinstatement of Montez Brewer prior to the Dec. 28 Dexter contest, the Yellowjackets took…

Young Western wrestling team approaching district with learn-first attitude
By Mike Moore Staff Writer Photo Courtesy of Western High School Parma — Team district time has arrived in the state on Michigan in the sport of wrestling. For Greg Hoffman and his Western squad, that means it’s time to dig in, and really learn. The Panthers will kick off the 2017 postseason Wednesday night at Charlotte in the tournament, taking on Eaton Rapids at 6 p.m. “We need to wrestle the best we have all season,” Hoffman said simply. “Eaton Rapids is a good team, ranked 10th right now. So, the plan is to have every kid go out and do the best they can. We’ll see what happens.” The winner of the opening match takes on Northwest or Charlotte in the team final. Yet, as he spoke about the district and the postseason in general, Hoffman was quick to caution getting too far ahead of himself. He’s led the Panthers to a 20-8 record this year, and a third-place finish in the conference standings. “Solid, but not great,” as he put it. Understandable considering the overall youth Western’s roster is made of. The team has just two seniors and…
