A chance at history
Michigan Center can take major step toward conference title tonight By Mike Moore Staff Writer Michigan Center – In a literal and mathematical sense, a victory tonight won’t clinch or guarantee anything. But a quick glance at the remaining schedule, and a little common sense would suggest a victory tonight would shape the landscape for the Michigan Center boys basketball team and its first conference title in a long, long time. Since 1993, to be exact. “One thing we talked about Thursday after practice was not putting too much pressure on ourselves, but really enjoying the moment,” Center coach Travis Gaddy said late Thursday night in regards to tonight’s home tilt against Hanover-Horton. “We have to embrace the moment. We expect a great atmosphere. People have been talking to me about this game for a week now. It’s on us to go out and make the most of it.” Center welcomes in Hanover this evening with a chance to sweep the season series and take a stranglehold of first place in the Cascades Conference standings. “This is a golden opportunity,” Gaddy added. “Not just for me, but for the players, the staff and…

An opportunity to embrace
Northwest gets second shot at Marshall and opportunity to win I-8 By Mike Moore Staff Writer Jackson – There are coaches who may try to temper enthusiasm, maybe stress the need of not putting too much into any single game. Ryan Carroll isn’t one of those coaches, at least not right now, at least not in regards to this game. “We’re certainly excited about this opportunity. Not everybody this Friday night will be part of a game of this magnitude,” Carroll, the Northwest girls coach said of Friday night’s home tilt against Marshall. “We’re trying to embrace it and enjoy it as much as we can.” Simply put, everything is on the line as the Mounties welcome in the Redhawks, namely a little revenge and a shot at the I-8 Conference title. “That’s a very good team, and we know that,” Carroll said of Marshall. “They execute very well offensively, and they take such good care of the basketball. We’re a team that forces turnovers, and we didn’t do that in the first game.” That first game he spoke of is the only blemish on Northwest’s otherwise perfect record. The Mounties (16-1)…
The frozen rematch: Jackson United vs. Lumen Christi
Lumen and Jackson United hockey teams set for rematch as regular season winds down By Mike Moore Staff Writer Jackson – From a close game at the end of one period to a lopsided one by the end of the next, the first meeting between the Lumen Christi and Jackson United hockey teams may have had all the emotions one would expect. But the final score left plenty to be desired. As the second, and final, meeting of the 2016 winter approaches, both coaches involved don’t expect another four-goal difference to separate the city rivals. “We expect this game to be much closer,” Jackson coach Andy Sinkovitz said Tuesday afternoon. “They’ve made a lot of changes the past few weeks, beaten some good teams recently. To me, this may be their biggest game of the season, and we have to be ready for that that.” “I think the biggest difference between then and now is we’re playing for 51 minutes,” Lumen coach Mike Wartella said. “In the first game, the first and third periods were pretty even. We went through a 10-minute stretch of breakdowns in the second, and they capitalized. Those are the…
