As far as somber days go, Memorial Day is as far from ‘memorial? as it could be. If there had not been discussion in our news room about covering the Memorial Day Parade in town, it would be a safe bet I wouldn’t have thought much of the holiday myself either. It’s not that I […]
Using a ‘running start? philosophy, Waterford Mott should have had more than enough left for a second game Friday afternoon against Clarkston.

After repeating as regional champions two weeks ago, replicating an Oakland County track championship wasn’t in the cards for Clarkston’s girls Friday.
