November 6, 2018

By, Gabriel Schray | JTV Sports | November 6th, 2018 Jackson, Michigan -- Four local girls volleyball teams are still alive and working deep into the state playoffs this weekend. After the district rounds, Parma Western in Class B; Manchester, Hanover-Horton and Vandercook Lake in Class C - remain in the championship race. Parma Western will see Lake Odessa Lakewood in the Regional Semifinal. A win would mean a regional final match against either Marshall or Fowlerville. On Saturday the team traveled to Chelsea to take on their crosstown rivals, Northwest, in the District Championship. Northwest won the first two games 23-25 twice. The Panthers pushed back and were able to continue their season winning the next three 25-20, 25-21 and 15-2 to become back to back District Champions. Hayden Fortress served 11 straight points in the 5th game, 3 aces, 40 assists and 11 digs.

The Blissfield Royals will travel North to Jackson, to faceoff with the defending two-time state champ, Lumen Christi. It will be the first recorded meeting between the two programs. The Titans have had their best season since 2001, racking up a 10-0 record coming into this round of the playoffs. They’ll have a chance at completing the perfect season in the playoffs this year- something they haven’t done since back to back 14-0 seasons in 2000 and 2001. Last Friday Lumen Christi squared off with the Michigan Center Cardinals and came up with a 41-14 clobbering to seal the Division Six District Title. The Cardinals ended with an excellent 9-2 record on the year. See the highlights from Lumen’s last game: here Blissfield upset a Hillsdale Hornet team that many local media outlets (including our Aspen One Hour crew) picked…

With respect to the Evil Queen in Snow White, the answer may well decide whether Western or Zeeland East advances to the semifinals in the Division 3 state playoffs. Landon Raczkowski, Bode Brown and Javon Lewis combined for 265 rushing yards as Western earned its first district championship in football with a 44-21 victory over Battle Creek Central in Parma last Friday. Meanwhile, quarterback Gabe Taylor and running back Alex Stockdale combined for 247 rushing yards as Zeeland East took down crosstown rival Zeeland West, 42-24, near the lakeshore. Combine both team’s strengths with the gametime temperature expected to be the 30s and the sum is this contest will be decided in the trenches. For Western, that puts left tackle Brady Yokom, left guard Michael McAninich, center Trevor Baker, right guard Garrett Plate and right tackle Tyler Oxley in the spotlight. “We hoped to…
