“Clark Kent, Einstein” Lead VCL Bowling
Vandercook Lake High School Bowler Korey Reichard (photos by Jeff Steers, JTV Sports) By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Two cousins who have bowled with one another for nearly 16 years continue to lead the successful Vandercook Lake High School boys’ bowling team. Seniors Korey Reichard and Conner Lackey won a Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 4 state title two years ago, have been all-state all three years, and have enjoyed success as individuals. But the clock is running down for the duo that has defined success at VCL in boys’ bowling. Reichard and Lackey have dominated local area tournaments. “On any given day, either one of us can win local tournaments,” Lackey said. “It just depends on who is hot that day.” Case in point during a match against Napoleon High School Saturday, Lackey rolled a 259 only to have Reichard earn a 299 in the next game. They are joined this year by a third cousin - Lackey’s brother, Camren. “Cam knew how important this senior season was for Korey and I,” Lackey said. “He is more of a baseball player, but has steadily improved his bowling average from the 130s to 190s.” With other freshmen and sophomores…

Underclassmen lead Warriors to big win
Abrie Cabana, left, of Grass Lake High School scored 23 points in a win over East Jackson at home on Thursday Jeff Steers JTV Sports New East Jackson High School girls’ basketball Coach Jerell Sanders told one of his students to “forget everything he has taught her” before the EJ/Grass Lake high school basketball game last night. She didn’t listen. Freshman Lexus Bargesser scored 19 points helping the Warriors to a 60-9 win over East Jackson at home Thursday. The Warriors improved to 7-1 overall, 2-1 in the Cascades Conference with the win. The Trojans are now 1-7 overall, 1-3 in the conference. Sanders worked with Bargesser and Grass Lake Coach Andrea Cabana as part of Michigan Premier Basketball this past summer. “We will be talking about this game,” Bargesser said of one of her instructors following the big win. Bargesser is learning about the huge jump from junior high basketball to the varsity level. “There was no such thing as face guarding in junior high,” Bargesser said. “I have been learning how to play through it.” The Warriors have also learned over the years that defense triggers everything for the team. They mastered that lesson in the first…
