By Mike Moore Staff Writer Concord — Twice before, John Ropp has guided his Concord baseball team to this point in the postseason. Twice before the Yellowjackets saw the playoffs come to a close one win shy of a spot in the final four. Could the third time be the charm? “The goal is to get to the semifinals,” Ropp said of his team. “We’re going to have to hit a little better than we have in the past quarterfinals we’ve been in. At the same time, all teams at this level are very solid. We may not be able to run the way we always like, and that’s a strength of ours. But we expect a tight game. It’s going to be fun.” Concord, now 25-8, takes on Centreville at 5 p.m. at Bailey Park in Battle Creek. The winner moves on to a 9 a.m. Division 4 state semifinal in East Lansing. “This team is capable of winning a state title, I’ve said that all year,” Ropp said of his guys. “We’re in the right spot with our mental approach. Our hitting has come around. We have a lot going for…

Some four months later, Michigan Center and Concord meet again, with much more on the line By Mike Moore Staff Writer Michigan Center – Both coaches, while understanding the question and the reason it was asked, had to laugh at the premise. It was Dec. 7 when the Michigan Center and Concord boys basketball teams kicked off the 2015-16 season. On March 9 the teams come together again, with slightly more on the line. Actually, a lot more. A ticket to Friday night’s district final, to be exact. So how much does that opener mean or factor into Wednesday night? “Nothing. Absolutely nothing,” Center’s Travis Gaddy said. “That was like a season ago.” “It doesn’t play into this at all,” Concord coach John Martines said. “It’s funny, because we watched the film of that first game, and some of the guys wondered if that was even us. To have this many games under our belt by now and see how far we’ve come is something.” Just to be clear, Center won the opener 55-43. Since that point, the teams have put together a combined 51-5 record. Center, hosting…
