Chelsea hockey vs. Ann Arbor Huron:




They’re just calmly exchanging information about their hockey sticks. Right? Right.







Late in the game, two Huron players decided to file a grievance with Joe Hewitt:





On 11 January I traveled to Milan to cover the team’s first game back since the death of senior co-captain Eric Harrison. The team draped Harrison’s jersey over a chair and wore “E2” wristbands in his memory.



As for the game: Milan defeated New Boston Huron.














Chelsea hockey faced a team that looks a lot like Syracuse football a few years ago but is actually Flint Powers Catholic. (Even better: their white jerseys look like a Gatorade advertisement!)


Don’t worry: he made the save.








It’s funny how game-winning goals result in happiness.
Lincoln basketball traveled to Dexter.







I know I’m stepping back in time a couple months with this post, but I realized I never posted one of my favorite photos from this winter sports season. This particular photo is from a basketball game at Milan.

Most people were focused on the game, but as her attire shows, this particular little girl — the younger sister of a Milan basketball player — was there for the cheerleaders. At every timeout she would find her way onto the court, dancing and enthusiastically waving her pompoms. But each time she noticed the Milan varsity cheerleaders making their way onto the court, she would stop dancing to watch the cheerleaders’ routines.

Chelsea basketball’s holiday tournament continued with Chelsea facing Pinckney. I wasn’t there for the girls game, but I did make it for the boys game.










Charlie found a convenient footrest when he needed to tie his shoe.

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.
