The TCC is well represented today in the MHSAA state cross country finals.

In the boys side, Sand Creek, Whiteford and Morenci teams all qualified in Division 7 while Whitmore Lake is a Division 7 qualifier. Madison had an individual qualify.

In the girls race, Sand Creek and Whitmore Lake each had full teams qualify while girls from Britton-Deerfield, Madison and Whiteford are also entered.

Congratulations to all the TCC athletes competing at Michigan International Speedway today.

Bulldogs advance

November 7th, 2009

Summerfield will go on the road for the first time in the playoffs next week when it plays Ubly. The Bulldogs storybook season continued Friday with a 28-22 win over Detroit Loyola.

Eric Cogan showed why he is an All-State candidate with a huge game and the Bulldogs took the lead for good with about four minutes left in the game to win.

Cogan passed the 1,000-yard mark in receiving, becoming just the second player in Monroe County Region history to do so. He intercepted two passes, scored a touchdown and scored a two-point conversion to lead the Bulldogs Friday.

Summerfield is among the final 8 teams in Division 7.

The other TCC team alive in the playoffs, Clinton, was shutout, 11-0, to Manchester. Manchester will now take on state power St. Mary Catholic Central. In other playoff action, Reading – the team that defeated Whiteford – lost 40-0 to Hudson.

With another win by each team, Summerfield and Hudson could meet in the state semifinals.

TCC playoff history

November 6th, 2009

I’d say the TCC has a pretty good shot at getting two teams into the next round of the playoffs as the two best teams in the conference — Clinton and Summerfield — are still alive in Division 6 and Division 7. Only three times in league history has at more than one league team won two playoff games in the same year:

1999: Britton-Deerfield won three games while Sand Creek won two. BD eliminated SC in the third round of the playoffs and advanced to the state semifinals.

2000: BD, Sand Creek and Whiteford each won two playoff games. BD, again, eliminated SC in the third round and went to the semifinals.

2003: Whitmore Lake and Sand Creek each won two playoff games. SC eliminated SC in the third game.

Best-ever Bulldogs

November 4th, 2009

Summerfield has had some outstanding football teams over the years, but the current version of the Bulldogs certainly must rank up there with the best of them.

In fact, the 2009 Bulldogs and their nine (9) wins is a school record. The 1982, 1978, 1977 and 1975 teams all won eight games — all under coach LeRoy Wood — but this is the first Summerfield team to win nine in a season.

Coming Thursday

November 4th, 2009

The Evening News will preview Friday’s Summerfield-Detroit Loyola game Thursday.
