1 day ago | tctimes.com | David Troppens

Linden — There were two common themes at Wednesday’s ChoiceOne Bank Athlete of the Week Banquet, honoring the top male and female senior athlete at Fenton, Linden, Lake Fenton, Holly and Hartland high schools. A few words cover those themes well. Work ethic and hard work pretty much complete the task. It takes hard work and dedication to become the top athlete at any level, and this year’s honorees exemplified that.

There wasn’t much difference between the Fenton varsity baseball team and Davison on Wednesday. The two teams played into extra innings of their Division 1 regional semifinal game at Oxford High School. So what decided the contest? It was a sacrifice bunt. Davison (15-16) opened the bottom of the eighth inning with a single and a stolen base by Michael Kirby. Brady Brown followed with a sacrifice bunt that was misplayed by Fenton, earning the Cardinals the 6-5 victory.

Probably just like every office in the world, occasionally work becomes a secondary goal when a silly conversation begins. One of the subjects that has come up a couple times recently is reality TV shows, specifically one about Formula 1 drivers. During one of the conversations, I was the antagonist ripping the fact that such a show even exists, and then ripped people for watching reality TV. The thing is I was a bit of a hypocrite when I said that.

Linden — It was hard to feel too bad for the Linden varsity baseball team Wednesday. The squad competed in a regional semifinal game for the first time since 2016, just days after winning what many would’ve thought was an improbable district championship. However, the run ended at Linden’s own baseball diamond when the Clio Mustangs earned a 6-1 victory. “It meant everything to us to win districts,” senior Matthew Hildreth said. “The loss took a lot out of us.

Ask Molly Katic what she is and the Fenton junior will say one thing — she’s an athlete. Last weekend was a perfect example of her athleticism. Katic competed in three adaptive races at the Division 1 state meet, earning three state championships on Saturday. And that wasn’t all she did during the weekend. On Friday, she competed at the Special Olympic State Games at Central Michigan University, winning the gold in the 25 freestyle and the bronze in the 50 backstroke.

The Holly-Fenton varsity baseball rivalry had another chapter added to it on Saturday, perhaps unexpectedly. Both entered Saturday’s Division 1 Oxford District as underdogs to even get out of their opening round games, yet both won exciting one-run games. The Tigers defeated Grand Blanc 5-4 while Holly beat Oxford 3-2. That set up the battle between the neighborhood rivals. And, wow, was the game a dandy.

Linden — The Lake Fenton varsity softball team’s trip to a district title began with an 18-0 thumping of Kearsley in the semifinal round at Linden High School on Saturday. The Blue Devils scored 14 runs in the bottom of the first inning and the only question remaining was if they could earn the 15-run mercy rule. They did scoring four more runs in the second inning. The first of Lake Fenton’s runs came on a two-run home run by Laureena Baehl.

It was a good start at the Davison Division 1 district softball tournament on Saturday for the Fenton varsity softball team. The end wasn’t quite as good.
