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.

The Chelsea boys basketball team kept an eye on the girls’ game as they prepared for their own game.

Chelsea’s Arctic Coliseum hosted the SEC Hockey Showcase, featuring seven SEC teams and one non-SEC team.  (Ordinarily it would be eight SEC teams, but one program had to close down this year.)  I photographed three of the four games.

Last week, Chelsea hockey lost in overtime in its first of two meetings with its other not-so-beloved rival, Jackson Lumen Christi.


See how Anthony’s right arm is in the process of wrapping around the LC player’s head?  If you’re guessing that didn’t end well, the next photo will show you just how right you are.


As with Dexter, when I say not-so-beloved, I mean it.  I really, really mean it.


For this image, Brad wins this post’s title of Gravity’s Little Helper.  (Or, more appropriately in this case, Gravity’s Little Hepler.)


Remember Steve, the player who left in the ice in pain a few posts ago?  He’s back, and he’s okay.
