The Ann Arbor Huron girls basketball team visited Chelsea. As it turned out, for the gentlemen in charge there was a bit of a dress code for this particular game.

Indeed, it was a classy evening at the CHS gym. I mean, it’s classy anytime I’m there — together, a scruffy beard and a hoodie are the epitome of sophistication! — but it was especially classy this time.

It was senior night, too. Here, one senior shares a laugh with the assistant coach.

Eventually they did play basketball.

At halftime the Chelsea Athletic Boosters presented the district with a big check that had a big number on it.

The athletic boosters do a great deal to support Chelsea athletics. If you appreciate the school’s athletic programs as a part of the students’ educational experience and as a part of the culture of Chelsea, then you also appreciate the efforts of the boosters. If you don’t…well, I forgive you. Don’t let it happen again.

Chelsea put forth a valiant effort, but Huron is an outstanding team, and one River Rat made Chelsea’s task even more difficult by making a whole bunch of three point shots. In the end, Chelsea couldn’t keep up.
