Happiness and hurt (02-03 March 2007).

Thursday and Friday provided the towering highs and cavernous lows of sports as rival schools Chelsea and Dexter met first in the hockey playoffs and then in the basketball regular-season finale. Both games went into overtime, and both were Dexter victories: 3-2 for the hockey team and 59-57 for the basketball team.

The first picture shows the Dexter hockey team celebrating in front of its student section; the second shows Chelsea’s Mike Bazydlo reacting to the loss. The third shows Dexter’s Johnny Benjamin celebrating his last-second game-winning shot; the fourth shows Chelsea’s Adam Connell mourning the loss.

On Saturday, Dexter’s hockey team lost 4-2 to Dearborn Divine Child, so both schools’ hockey seasons are done. The basketball playoffs begin Monday, with Chelsea facing Milan and Dexter facing Pinckney.
