We'll get to the most notable football stories from opening night in Monday's "Drive for Detroit" review, but here's a look at the best of the non-football headlines from Thursday.

The ending of a substantial volleyball winning streak leads off our list of Wednesday's most impressive performances statewide.

Another big win for Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central's girls golf team and an early surge by Tecumseh boys soccer lock down the top spots in today's top 10. 

Girls golf school records broke all over the Lower Peninsula on Monday, with Northville's incredible 291 leading off today's list of achievers.

The first full weekend of fall competition across Michigan saw a defeat of a reigning boys soccer champion and a comeback win by one of our 2017 girls golf title winners. 

Golf and tennis had fall sports competition all to themselves for one more day Thursday, highlighted by some of the elite in Lower Peninsula girls golf making their season debut in Traverse City.

Fall is underway as teams played the first competitions of the 2018-19 school year Wednesday, topped by a meeting of contenders at multiple golf tournaments. 

The final few Regionals in baseball and softball finished up Monday to kick off the last week of the 2017-18 school sports year.

This weekend's Softball, Baseball and Girls Soccer Regionals featured a number of stunning results as those tournaments rolled toward their final week with a number of new faces earning opportunities to play on.

Girls Soccer Regionals dominated Thursday night across the Lower Peninsula as nine more teams secured spots in next week's MHSAA Semifinals.

After a day away, we're back with the best of Wednesday including coverage of all eight Lacrosse Semifinals plus a look at a few of the most intriguing Tuesday Regional Soccer games.

Action across Michigan was sparse Monday as teams prepared for the next levels of their MHSAA tournaments, so we led today's abbreviated list with something that will be of high importance beginning this fall.

Upsets from the biggest weekend of the high school sports year dominate today's list, which doesn't include coverage of MHSAA Track & Field and Girls Tennis Finals – Second Half covered all 18 of those; see "Latest Posts" for more. 

In addition to four more Upper Peninsula Golf Finals (see coverage on Second Half), Thursday was dominated by Girls Soccer Districts and Boys Golf Regionals, with upsets in both topping this list.

In addition to Upper Peninsula Finals played in tennis and golf (with coverage found on Second Half), Lower Peninsula tournaments continued Wednesday topped by a historic win for Northville boys lacrosse.

A handful of colossal upsets and some courageous play highlighted the first night of Districts in three sports and Regional Finals in boys lacrosse Tuesday.

The Michigan Interscholastic Track Coaches Association annual meets highlighted a busy weekend on the cusp of the busiest playoff week in Michigan high school sports.

The last afternoon of regular-season competition for most Michigan high school teams saw a few final league championship celebrations heading into the holiday weekend and with the busiest five-day stretch on the MHSAA calendar up next. 

Wednesday was a great day to play for Plymouth, or run for Detroit Renaissance or Traverse City Central, some of the biggest winners from another run of championship celebrations.

Tuesday may have been the newsiest of this spring statewide, with at least 20 teams claiming league titles, Lacrosse Regionals amping up and two top-ranked teams taking losses on the diamond.
