Among high school baseball players in the area this spring one stands out to me and he’s only a junior—Caleb Bonamer of Okemos committed to play at powerhouse Virginia last year as a sophomore.
Michigan and Michigan State are set to play three baseball games this weekend, but it’s a mystery to me why they’re all in Ann Arbor, just like last year when they were all in East Lansing.
A high five to Okemos High School football coach Efe Scott-Emakpuor. He will begin his second season this fall with a 31-game losing streak, but over the past year, he has dramatically rebuilt the Okemos program.
It’s opening day for the Detroit Tigers, and while we don’t know how the team will fare this season, I’m guessing they’ll do better than last year’s record of 66-96.
The transfer portal is now open for Michigan State’s three main winter sports teams - hockey and men’s and women’s basketball. So who leaves and who arrives?
We are just a little over a week away from the regular season opener for the Detroit Tigers, who will be playing in St. Petersburg against the Tampa Bay Rays.
It’s a sad end to Suzy Merchant’s 16-year career as Michigan State women’s basketball coach, but her health issues are fully legitimate, and whether she returns to coaching remains to be seen.
Watching early spring training games, the pitch clock has provided a pace of play that has far more action and less dead time, a bane in years past in my view.
Michigan State’s regular home hockey schedule is complete - ridiculous that the final home game is February 10th - but the Spartans are still hoping to host a Big Ten tournament first-round series for the very first time.
Two Michigan State football players will be seen this Saturday in the Senior Bowl game in Mobile, Alabama - and both in my view will be greatly missed by the Spartans next fall.
