By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Grass Lake High School junior Lexus Bargesser and her brother spent all last spring – three months – running sprints and getting ready for track and field season. The season never came due to COVID-19 restrictions, but Bargesser was ready if it did. That kind of commitment is what makes the Warriors’ basketball player a top recruit in Michigan. She has been ranked as high as No. 3 in the class of 2022 by some ranking services, has more than 30 Division 1 basketball offers, and has developed an all-around game that is helping the Warriors attain the No. 1 ranking in Division 3 girls’ basketball. Bargesser scored 20 points for Grass Lake on an off-shooting night Tuesday. The Warriors were able to pull out a 54-48 win over Western thanks to some key defensive stops in the fourth quarter.

MHSAA Announces Revised Format and Tournament Site for Wrestling
(March 2, 2021 9:35 PM) The Michigan High School Athletic Association has revised its 2021 Wrestling Tournaments, scheduled for the final three weeks of March and first weekend of April, in an effort to reduce the mixing of communities and spread of COVID-19. The MHSAA also has selected Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo as this year’s host site for the Teams Finals on March 30 and Individual Finals to be wrestled April 2-3. As in non-COVID seasons, the wrestling postseason will be divided into separate tournament tracks for teams and individuals, with competition at the District, Regional and Finals levels. Competition at the District and Regional levels for both the team and individual tournaments will follow the MHSAA’s traditional formats, which is possible due to the COVID-19 rapid testing required of each participating wrestler. Districts will be wrestled during the week of March 15, with Regionals the following week. However, a number of changes for this season’s Finals have been put in place to provide the same experience for qualifying athletes but with more precautions to limit possible exposure to the virus.
