Chelsea basketball hosted its annual Holiday Tournament, featuring Pinckney, Redford Thurston and Adrian.  On the first day of the two-day tournament, the Chelsea boys and girls both faced Redford Thurston.

All this week, Chelsea High School is hosting a boys basketball playoff district.  The games began Monday, and as Heritage Newspapers has a presence in a number of towns throughout southeastern Michigan, I had the task of shooting more than just Chelsea: the final game of the evening featured Ann Arbor Father Gabriel Richard and Willow Run.

The FGR student section was committed to being loud, rowdy, and hilarious…

…But the Willow Run section ended up being much happier with the result, a 67-62 WR victory

…And one FGR senior was understandably disappointed by that result.
