For two periods it looked as if Lincoln hockey was not only going to break their winless streak against Chelsea, but they were going to decimate the Bulldogs in the process.
At the second intermission, the Splitters headed to the locker room with a 6-2 advantage.
Then came the third period. Chelsea chipped away at the lead, but the Splitters escaped with a 7-6 win, their first ever win over the Southeastern Conference foe.
“You know, I told the guys, and I’ve told them before, anything...read more

Ypsilanti High School is the city champ.
A week after routing Willow Run, the Phoenix girls basketball team gave Ypsilanti Lincoln the same treatment in a lopsided 57-28 win.
“I told the girls in the lockeroom that when you play someone from your own city, you have to go out and win those bragging rights,” head coach Chris Slater said.
While Ypsilanti’s press disrupted the Railsplitter’s flow, Lincoln created their own issues by missing 21 free throws.
The Splitters went seven for...read more

From the outset, there was little Willow Run could do to stop Ypsilanti Friday, as the two women’s basketball teams went head-to-head at Ypsilanti High School.
The full court press, nine first-quarter points by senior guard Mariah Hawkins and their own youth was too much for the Flyers to overcome, as the Phoenix set the pace early and controlled the game until its 66-32 conclusion.
The sound victory was especially crucial after Ypsilanti found themselves on the wrong end of an 84-42 drubbing...read more

Don’t be too quick to revoke Ypsilanti basketball’s membership as one of the area’s elite teams.
If there is one positive that came out of their 8-12 season last year, by far their worst record in recent history, it was that the young group that took some lumps remains in tack and a year older.
Only one senior graduated, and head coach Steve Brooks likes what he has seen in summer ball and early scrimmages.
“Last year we only had one senior so we got a good pretty good group of guys...read more
