By Jeff Steers JTV Sports The phrases Hanover-Horton High School, wrestling, and championships have never been associated with one another. Until recently. The Comets won a district and Cascades Conference title with a win over Addison on Wednesday. Hanover-Horton defeated the Panthers 41-36 to claim its second Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 4 district title in three years. The district final match also served as a makeup for a Cascades Conference dual meet canceled earlier in the year due to COVID-19 concerns. With the win, Hanover-Horton tied Napoleon and Manchester high schools for the conference crown with a 6-1 record. The Comets defeated Manchester earlier in the season, Napoleon beat Hanover-Horton, and the Flying Dutchmen defeated the Pirates. Since there was no conference tournament – due to restrictions on individual tournaments – the trio of teams earned conference titles. “It is a big deal to win a conference title,” Hanover-Horton Coach Doug Cure said. “Most of the wrestlers have been in our youth program for the past seven or eight…

By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (March 9, 2021 10:31 PM) The Vandercook Lake High School varsity competitive cheer almost didn’t know how to react when it was announced the Jayhawks had won the Cascades Conference title. They were probably used to someone else – namely Michigan Center or Addison – being named as conference champions. But the Jayhawks won the conference title on Tuesday at home. Vandercook – winners of two of three jamborees this season – won the championship with a three-round total of 755.92. Michigan Center finished second (746.24), Addison was third (717.66), Napoleon took fourth place (623.9), and Grass Lake placed fifth (614.1). It wasn’t until VCL Coach Sarah DuBois held up the conference trophy that the Jayhawks celebrated. “We just work hard every week and stay focused about ourselves,” DuBois said. “Winning two jamborees was huge. “That boost of moral is what led us to the next meet.” It is Vandercook Lake’s first Cascades Conference title in competitive cheer. “For a season that you didn’t…
