With all Spring sports canceled for 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s been a season of recalling fond memories as we all sit and wait for the return of high school athletics in Michigan. This time we’re diving 40 years deep to the Baseball and Sof...

Unionville-Sebewaing was one out away from another chance to score just one run and end the 2013 Division 3 Softball Final. Over the next many minutes, and in multiple ways, Vanessa Ewing took that opportunity away.

Three matches remained in the Division 3 Wrestling Final on Feb. 28, 2015, and Dundee led 25-12 with a third-straight championship nearly in grasp. But after his Richmond teammates Adam Boyd and Roy Costello fought back to pull their team within four points of t...

Hunter Assenmacher had waited three years for this.  The Ida senior defeated Flint Powers Catholic’s Sean Spidle 7-4 on Saturday in the Division 3 119-pound championship match at the MHSAA Individual Finals at Ford Field. The win avenged Assen...

Sean Spidle is back where he started this run, and with an opportunity to finish it among the all-time greats in MHSAA wrestling history. The Flint Powers Catholic senior, along with two others this weekend, will wrestle at Ford Field to become the 27th to win fou...

Nobody was quite ready Saturday to definitively call this Dundee wrestling team the best in program history.  But simply being in the conversation says enough.

This weekend’s Division 3 story is familiar. But last year’s finish no doubt has added to the buildup.  Dundee or Richmond has won the last 10 Division 3 team wrestling championships, and they’ve faced each other in the deciding match eight of th...

One more memory. After 85 years of playing prep football in the same location, Dundee will close the doors on its stadium tonight with plans to move into a new athletic complex next fall. Vikings head coach Kyle McElvany called tonight’s game against undefeated a...

Of course, Schoolcraft’s Allie Goldschmeding knew what was on the line as she sped toward first base during the eighth inning of Friday’s Division 3 Semifinal against Dundee. And she gave everything it took to beat out her grounder and send her team to its ...

Michigan State University’s Secchia Stadium could be home to a few more first-time MHSAA title celebrations this weekend. Half the final fields in Division 1 and Division 2 are pursuing their first championships, as is the top-ranked team and three total in Divis...

DJ Daniels didn’t have many close calls this season, but the Caro senior 160-pounder had a couple on his way to a second straight Division 3 championship – one on the mat, and one off.

The 2018 Division 3 Individual Wrestling Finals gave fans arguably the highlights of the day at Ford Field, with a pair of four-time champions joining a legendary group. Those are pretty tough acts to follow, of course. But this season’s contenders have opportuni...

One of the things that makes the MHSAA Team Wrestling Finals special is that a wrestler can be a hero for his team and make a real difference by taking a "good" loss.  That's exactly what happened for the Dundee Vikings in their Division 3 championship match again...

Dundee and Richmond have met in seven of the last nine Division 3 Wrestling Finals, and it’s hardly a shock they are the top-seeded teams heading into this weekend at Kalamazoo’s Wings Event Center. But there are potential spoilers waiting.

The thing that keeps Dundee wrestling coach Tim Roberts motivated isn’t another dual meet victory, matching up with state powerhouse Hudson in a conference meet or hanging another banner inside the Vikings’ gymnasium. Those things are nice, but what keeps R...

Brandon Whitman and Jarrett Trombley will both be headed to the state of North Carolina this fall. Before leaving, however, they put on one more show Saturday night for wrestling fans at the MHSAA Individual Championships.

A total of 23 reigning champions will return to this weekend’s MHSAA Individual Finals, and all 56 who will be crowned will be celebrated by their schools and communities.  But as is often true on this biggest stage, the crowd’s focus will turn nearly ...

Brandon Whitman and the Dundee wrestling team quickly changed into Team X T-shirts as the clock wound down Saturday night on the MHSAA Division 3 Team Wrestling Final at Wings Event Center. The shirts were in honor of the Vikings' 10th team title won in the program's i...

Dundee and Richmond have met in six of the last eight Division 3 Team Finals, but none carried as much anticipation as this weekend’s possible rematch is building. Richmond claimed last season’s MHSAA title on a tie-breaker after the teams tied 28-28, and t...

Dundee's Brandon Whitman is fast approaching an opportunity to join one of the elite groups of achievers in any sport in MHSAA history.  With a chance at becoming the 23rd four-time individual wrestling champion a little more than a month away, Whitman contin...
