Stevenson breaks the ice!State champs stop Hartland in D2 final, 5-4

By Brad Emonsobserver Staff Writer

They’ve earned the right to “Sparty On” as Stevenson did what no other Livonia prep hock­ey team has done in 43 years on Saturday—win a coveted state champi­onship.

The Spartans are the newly crowned MHSAA’s Division 2 champions by virtue of their 5-4 victo­ry at Plymouth’s Compu- ware Arena against fel­low Kensington Lakes Activities Association member ikartland.

Stevenson, getting a pair of goals each from senior defenseman Trav­is Harvey and star junior forward Dominic Lutz, survived a wild second period that featured six goals to hoist the state championship trophy.

“You have to do it to feel it,” Harvey said. “I’m speechless right now.”

■ For Lutz, who notched his 42nd and 43rd goals of the season, it was a surreal moment.

“It’s unbelievable,” he said. “A lot of my team­mates have been playing together for years and it just means a ton to me and it’s great accomplish this. We’ve worked so hard and it’s great to be rewarded. It was a great team win.”

It was 1-1 after one period as Harvey scored from Mick Sinclair and Blake Battjes at 4:55, but Hartland’s Austin Flores countered when he beat Spartan goaltender Con-

nor Hiunitz in the upper right comer from Chris McRae and John Nagel.

McRae then scored unassisted at 54 seconds of the second period to give the Eagles a momen­tary 2-1 advantage, but , Stevenson answered with three straight goals.

Lutz connected for two in a row, one iinassist- ed at 4:30 and live sec­ond from Jake Kierdorf at 7:07 followed by Har­vey’s second of the game from Ray Chartier at 9:10 to make it 4-2.

“In this kind of game you try and pick your comers, but in the end you’ve just got to get good shots on net,” Lutz said. “My second goal...1 just threw it at the net ahd it deflected off some­

one and got in. I shoot pucks all the time, but once it comes down it, you’ve got to just put it on net and n i^ e it’s on the goal and not wide.”

Lutz’s first goal, how­ever, was a beauty as he took a pass from Kier­dorf between the cir­cles and ripped a shot by Hardand netminder Nick Wneka.

“That time I had no pressure and was able to ' place it where I wanted,” Lutz said. “My slap shot takes more time, but my wrist shot I think I’m way more accurate with it. And it just seems to work for me.”

Glenn girls orbit into Final 4Rockets hand

1 St lossBy Brad EmonsObserver Staff Writer

Westland John Glenn’s star twin guard duo of Raine and Raven Bankston have never set foot inside the confines Michigan State Universi­ty’s Breslin Center.

But that will all change Friday when the 24-1 Lady Rockets will play defending Class A c h ^ - pion Grand Haven (26-0) in a 1 p.m. state sen^inkl courtesy of a dramatic 55-50 win Ihesday night over previously unbeat­en Detroit King in a quar­terfinal game at Detroit Western International.

The senior trans­fers from Detroit Mum- ford combined for 33 of Glenn’s 55 points with17 and 16, respective­ly, while feUow senior ShqKeya Graves tallied a game-Mgh 22, including18 in the second half, to spark the victory.

They were the only three Glenn players to score.

“It means a lot because me and my sister have not been to the Breslin Center,” Raine said. “We never made it this far.It’s the first time.”

No Lady Rocket team had ever reached a quar­terfinal and it didn’t look good at halftime with the Rockets staring at an eight-point deficit (27- 17).

And to make matters worse, Glenn was pla3dng. without starting junior guard Kaira Barnes and found themselves in foul

trouble with Graves and Raven Bankston each picking up three personal fouls. The two then each picked up their fourths by the end of the third.

“I just told myself I couldn’t foul out because my team needed me,” Raven said. “I just had to play under control and stay humble, and that’s what I did. Half our team are seniors, so we knew if we lose, it’s our last game.”

Graves, who was just2-for-lO in the first half, went wild during the third quarter scoring 14 of Glenn’s 25 points as

the Rockets stayed with­in striking distance, 47- 41.

A rebound basket by Raine Bankston with 6:48 left in the final quar­ter evened the coimt at 46-all. Raine then made the key play of the game coming out of a time­out when she converted a three-point play with 2:54 to go, putting Glenn ahead by two, 51-49.

Raven then came down following a King turn­over and scored on a short shot in the key to put Glenn up 53-50 with 1:57 remaining. Graves followed with a pair of

critical free throws with 1:22 left to seal the win.

King’s last point came when LaShai Geeter made one-of-two free throws with 2:21 to go to pull the Crusaders to within one, 51-50.

“My mind is just going a million miles an hour right now,” Glenn sec­ond-year coach Eric Kovatch said. “I can’t pick out one thing, but we just played h^d . Our girls wanted it. They wanted to go to Breslin (Center and they’ve been working really hard. It’s a great high school bas­ketball game.

“At our first open gym on Sept. 9 our goal was to get to the Breslin Center. We’re not done, but it will be a great experience for our Mds.”

Graves, meanwhile, called her first-half per­formance “horrible,” but things quickly changed for the better in the third.

“At the beginning of the game I kind of played slow,” said the DePaul University signee. “But towards the third quar­ter I knew I had to help my team, so I had to'pick it up.”

Stevenson 3rd in D1 swim finalsBy Brad EmonsObserver Staff Writer

It could only be catego­rized as a job well done and a highly productive MHSAA Division 1 meet effort Saturday for the Livonia Stevenson boys swim team.; The Spartans posted their best finish since 2006 by placing third with 191 points, only behind defending state champion Saline, which edged Birminigham Brother Rice for first by four points, 313-309, for the team title at the Hol­land Aquatics Center.

The Hornets captured two relays - the 200-yard medley and the 200 free­style - along with eight individual events.

“I couldn’t expect a bet­ter outcome,” said Ste­venson coach Jeff Shoe­maker, who guided'the Spartans to a third-place finish in 2006. “I would have never expected us to go as fast as we did. I’m really impressed with the boys and still

pretty on a high about it. It’s one of my better sea­sons, one I’ll remember for sure.”

Stevenson junior Nick Arakelian was the only individual to break Saline’s first-place indi­vidual domination when he set a Division 1 state record in the 500 free­style with a time of 4:27.75.

Arakelian was also run­ner-up to Saline’s Josh Ehrman in the 200 indi­vidual medley going 1:48.22 Cto Ehiinan’s MHSAA all-class record of 1:47.86).

Stevenson’s 200 medley relay team of John Fer­rara, Arakelian, Brad­ley Bielicki and Jake Goeddeke (1:34.42) was also runner-up to Saline (1:30.01 all-class record).

“Nick had the fast­est split I’ve ever seen a high schooler go in the 50 breaststroke (24.76) - and that’s 20 years of experi­ence - and he just pretty much made the medley relay and shattered the school record by over a

second-and-a-half,” Shoe­maker said.

The Spartans’ quartet of Jackson O’Dowd, Fer­rara, Parker Belmore and Arakelian also went 3:07.07 to place second behind Rice’s 3:03.78.

“He went 45.27 (100 split) in the last (400 free­style relay), which shat­tered our school record probably by almost four seconds,” Shoemaker said. “W thout Nick we couldn’t have gotten two All-American relays. He certainly made the dif­ference in our point total obviously. He was sec­ond in power points for swimmer of the meet, just right behind Josh Ehrman, who actual­ly won it. But I think he could have swam a cou­ple of other events and

• would have won them without a problem, but he wanted to swim the IM because he wanted to go against Josh, which was the munber one compe­tition in the meet. That’s what he wanted to go for.”

Not to be outdone was Ferrara, a senior who placed second in the 100 backstroke (50.28) to Saline’s David Boland (49.75), along with a fifth in the 200 EM (1:54.54).

“He (Ferrara) did what he was going to do,” Shoem ^er said. “His 100 backstroke dropped a little, but his 200 IM was his most impressive going (1:53.83 in the pre­lims). He really upped his value scoring Ugh in two events. The backstroke is his best and favorite event, but 200 EM helped us out quite a bit. He also had.a real nice swim in the 400 freestyle relay. Both he and hfick are piv­otal to oiu* accomplish­ments this year.”

O’Dowd, a sprint free- styler, also scored points for Stevenson with 10th- place finishes in the 50- and 100 freestyles with times of 20.96 and 47.19, respectively.

“I think oUy-two fresh­men scored in the meet and for a freshman to score iii four events, and

Livonia Stevenson may never see such a dynamic duo again in boys swim­ming as junior Nick Ara­kelian and graduating senior John Ferrara.

The two were highly instrumental in the Spar­tans’ success this season as they placed third in Saturday’s MHSAA Divi- • sion 1 finals held at the Holland Aquatics Center.

If Arakelian, who was

“S-V.

Ferrara

swimmmg in his first high school season, was Batman, then Ferrara was his best accomplice in Robin.

Arakelian, who swam for the Kingfish Aquat­ic Club in last year’s U.S. Olympic Trials, broke the MHSAA Division 1 mark in the 500-yard free­style (4:27.75) and placed second to Saline’s Josh

Ehrman in tlie 200 indi­vidual medley (1:48.22).

Ferrara, bound for Oakland Univeraity, fin­ished runner-up in the 100 backstroke (50.28) and placed fifth in the 200 EM (1:54.54).

The two also helped Ste­venson set high school All-American standard clockings in the 200 med­ley and 400 freestyle relays with times of 1:34.42 and 3:07.07.• Arakelian also figured in six of Stevenson’s sev-

in an All-American relay, was pretty impressive. He’s probably the fast­est anchor we have on our medley (relay), but because we wanted to score more points, I took him out of that medley and put Jake Goeddeke in it and we still ended up second the medley. But with Jackson in oiu' 200 freestyle relay, we end­ed scoring more points in that relay, which was the difference in how high we scored.

“It was a big gamble and Jackson never said one word about it, so it was a real team conunit- ment and he made a sac­rifice for the team. Very impressive for a 14-year- old.”

Also scoring for Ste­venson was Grant McNa­mara, 10th, 100 breast­stroke (59.88), Belmore, 11th in the 100 back- stroke (53.47); and Tom­my O’Donohue, 13th, 100 breaststroke (1:00.88).

All three are juniors.“Probably the m ost'

impressive swimmer

of the meet was Park­er,” Shoemaker said.“He dropped in all of his events and swam extremely well in the backstroke coming off the 200 freestyle relay. He really stepped up and put his name on the map and we really expect big tilings from him next year.”

Next year should be more of the same for the Spartans, who lose only state qualifiers Brandon Shatter and Ferrara to graduation.

“The nice thing about it is that it just wasn’t about Nick,” said Shoe­maker, whose team set seven school records this season. “Don’t get me wrong, he made the dif­ference, but he wasn’t the only one contributed. But I just think that by him leading and by him going out in front, it built all the other ones up and made the other boys go fast­er, too.”

en school records set this season, while Ferra­ra broke his own mark in the 100 backstroke.

“I’d sayIdidweU,” Arakelian said. “The 200 IM wasn’t quite where I wanted it to be, but when it came down to it. Josh (Ehrman) is a great swimmer and I have a lot

■ 6f respect for him. We both trained hard and he came out on top. That’s just how it is some­times.”

Arakelian c e rts^ y didn’t duck the compe­tition either as Ehrman broke an all-MHSAA class record with a time of 1:47.86.

“I knew I wanted to do the 200 EM,” Arake-

.lian said. “I knew Josh (Ehrman) and I would . have a great race.”

This only the beginning of a busy offseason for ArakeUmi, who will com­pete this weekend (along with Ferrara) in the state club swim champion­ships at Eastern Michi­gan University followed by the sectionals in Ohio, the World Champion­ship IHals next month in Indianapolis and the U.S. Nationals at the end of August in Irvine, Calif.

lian said of his state meet. “Our relays swam top- notch. I was about four seconds off from my (500 freestyle) time at (USA Swimming) Nationals, so I wanted to get down there for that.

“I loved it. It was a great experience. It was great. It was a lot of fun.I loved the relays and the team atmosphere.'”

Arakelian, meanwhile, will probably follow the same script for his senior season at Stevenson under coach Jeff Shoe­maker.

“Going into next year • those two same events wiU be there if I need them,” he said. “I’d like to maybe do more of the 100 breaststroke and maybe the 200 free. I’m not sime of maybe what events of what ril.be swimming next year at ‘states.’ I need to focus on the same events for another sea­son and he (Shoemak­er) will put me wherever he needs me for the dual

meets.”Ferrara, meanwhile,

also plans to resume training inunediately with his Livonia Commu­nity Swim Club.

But he’ll also be able to look favorably upon his senior year. .

“I think we did real­ly good, we trained hard, we were very dedicat­ed to what we did and all- around it was a good sea­son,” Ferrara said. “I think we performed well and had a lot of lifetime bests and was glad to be part of the team.

“It was a success. I’ll iniss the team bonding and aU the friendships.”

And it didn’t hurt to have a national caliber swimmer in Arakelian join the team for the first time.

“I think he pushed us in practice and in meets,” Ferrara said, “and pro­vided a lot of team spirit.”

Stevenson's. Dominic Lutz ceiebrates after scoring one of his two goais in Saturday's 54 Division 2 state championship win over Hartiand.

Skate-worthyS p a r ta n s ’ L u tz c a ta ly s t in s ta te t i t le r u n

By Brad EmonsObserver Staff Writer

Livonia has certainly produced its fair share of standout high school hockey teams over the years - and that’s going back to the days of old Bentley.

But on Saturday, the 2012-13 Stevenson squad broke new ground earn­ing its first-ever MHSAA state title with a 5-4 win over a very determined Hartiand squad Satoday at Plymouth’s Compu- ware Arena.

This is the first year that all three Livo­nia schools - Churchill, Franklin and Stevenson - have all been in Division 2 instead of Division 1.

That’s because of all the unMed hockey pro­grams that have prolif­erated throughout the state even though Steven­son’s enrollment remains steady at 2,005 students.

And even with the sur­prising switch to Divi­sion 2, Stevenson played a demanding Division 1- type schedule through­out the regular season, which included a win and a tie over Division 1 state finalists Novi Detroit Catholic Central and Brighton, along with loss­es to Division 1 semifinal­ist University of Detroit- Jesuit and Division 3 finalist Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook.

So when the state play­offs started, the Spartans were weU prepared to make their move.

And they definitely seized the opportunity.

“Again, this team talk­ed about at the beginning of the year that we’re the 43rd year of high school hockey in Livo­nia and we’re the 43rd team in Stevenson histo­ry,” said a raspy-voiced Stevenson coach David Mitchell. “This is the first chance a Livonia school has had a chance to play in the state final and to get it done... this is not just for Stevensdn, but all high school hockey in

Livonia. We’ve had some great teams and some great kids go through our program and to do that is very special. Hopefully the whole community can enjoy this.”

Hartiand, the KLAA’s Lakes Conference champs, had other ideas despite being an under­dog to the Spartans, who were ranked No. 1 a majority of the year in Division 2.

“They played an out­standing game and I want to congratulate them on ah exceptional season for them,” Mitchell said of the Eagles. “It was also their first appearance in the state finals. I think you saw two high school hockey programs real­ly take a step forward today. We’re both from the KLAA so it’s great for oiu: league.”

Stevenson was the odds-on favorite, but it was a game that took many twists and turns throughout the three period.

“I don’t how the scor­ing was going to be, but I toew it’d be a close game, though,” said Ste­venson start junior for­ward Dominic Lutz, who paced the Spartans with 43 goals this season. “Every time one team would score, the other would come back. It was a rally back-and-forth until it Bnally evened out towards the end there.”

The second period as a head scratcher for sure as six goals were scored between the two teams.

“There were upsides for both teams in differ­ent parts of the game,” Hartiand coach Rich Gadwa said. “That sec­ond period was wild - absolutely. I think going into the t ^ d we popped an early one and creat­ed a lot of momentum.We were really pushing there at the end, caught crossbars, posts and good saves by their goalten- der (Connor Humitz).We just couldn’t buy that tying goal.

a good storm there at the end.

“Good job Stevenson and Hartiand.”

The Spartans’ standout' defenseman li-avis Har­vey, who along with Lutz tallied two gods in the championship final, knew it would come down to defense.

And ihe Spartans were able to keep Hartiand off the board during the final 16 minutes and 46 sec­onds after Chris McRae’s goal cut the deficit to 5-4.

“He (Mitchell) just said we just got to keep play­ing and focus on getting it deep,” Lutz said. “We didn’t need any more to win, we just needed to keep the puck out of our own end: It was u n fo ^ - nate they got a goal i^ght off the bat, but no one got down and we kept play­ing. We were fortunate to get the W at the end.”

There were many heroes throughout the season for the Spartans, but Lutz, despite only being a junior, certaM y belongs among the upper echelon of high school players to come out of Livonia.

And it’s his laser-like shot that separates him from rest of the pack.

“He has the shot because of his work eth­ic,” Mitchell said, “The kid shoots more pucks than anybody I’ve ever had. He’s developed a shot because of how hard he works. His work eth­ic is second to none and the other guys in this pro­gram feed off that work ethic. He challenges me to continue to work and he always challenges me to be busy and to keep doing better. So, as coach­es, we don’t hold him back. I’m just so happy for him that all hard work paid off today.”

A happy day for Lutz, his teammates, coach­es, fellow Stevenson stu­dents, alumni and Livonia for sure.

For Livonia Red senior Katie Kretzschmar and Livonia Blue senior Jamie JasinsM, the MHSAA Individual Girls Gymnastics finals Sat­urday at Plymouth was idng on the cake.

And for Livonia Blue freshman Bri Rhoad, it’s only just the beginning.

Kretzschmar came up with two All-StUte (top 10) performances in Divi­sion 1 placing eight on the balance beam (9.275) and 10th on the uneven paral­lel bars (9.075).

She also added Academ­ic All-State honora to her resume.

“Katie is a dedicat­ed and very hard work­er and I knew she could place,” Livonia Red coach Kelly GrodzicM said. “Competition was very tough. There are many great gymnasts and the talent is amazing, so Katie knew she had to focus and hit her routines and she did just that.”

^ o ^ d , meanwhile, showed her versatility in Division>2 finishing sev­enth in the all-around (35.425), including an All-State performance in vault (9.25) where she took sixth. She also just missed on floor exercise , with an 11th (9.125).

‘Tm proud of Bri for going out there and leav­ing nothing behind,” Livonia Blue coach Lisa Broomfield said. “ She is a growing gymnast and making it to ‘states’ her freshmen year and plac­ing on vault, and in the aU-aroimd, I could not be happier for her.”

Meanwhile, JasinsM also took Division 2 All- State honors on the bal­ance beam placing sev­enth with a 9.075.

“I’m very proud of my senior Jamie on her first appearance at ‘states’ and haifing the best rou­tine I have every seen her do,” Broomfield said. “Her placing at ‘states’ made that routine even more special. She worked hard to get there and she

shined that day.”

Livonia Red fin ish es 7th in MHSAA finalsBy Brad Emonsobserver Staff Writer

livonia Red, an at-large qualifier, made a strong showing in Friday’s MHSAA team gymnas­tics finals at Plymouth.

Grand Ledge cap­tured its sixth consecu­tive team title with a total of 149.350 followed by Canton and Farmington with 145.750 and 141.475, respectively, each.

The Martians ran over Livonia Ladywood Ihes- day night, ending the B ikers’ best state tour­nament run since 1992 with a 66-40 quarterfi­nal victory before a large turnout at Lake Fenton High School.

Three other Martian players scored in dou-

ble figures including Tay­lor Gleason (14), Isabella O’Brien (11) and Jessica Ashby (10).

‘We just didn’t have it,” said Ladywood coach Anthony Coratti, whose team finished 17-8 over- alL ‘We moved the ball pretty well, got open shots, but had a hard time putting it in the bas­ket.”

Goodrich led 18-9 after one cjuarter and 38-19 at halftime as Davis scored18.

The Martians then put it out of reach with a 13- 4 third-period run to go up 51-23.

Three players account­ed for all of Ladywood’s points with senior guards Shelby Walsh and Andie Anastos scoring 18 and 17, respectively.

Senior Andria Gietl

added five points, while Anastos grabbed a team- high 12 reboun(ls.

“Andie did a pretty good job on Gleason, but &e Davis Md killed us,” Coratti said. “She was able to get where she wanted. She played very well, she made shots. She’s only a sophomore, but she’s a big-timer.”

Goodrich made 18-of- 26 free throws, while the Blazers hit 4-of-6.

“The group of sev­en seniors Imd an amaz­ing four years,f’ Corat­ti said. “I’m eroem ely lucky as a coach to have been able to wprk with them those four years.I couldn’t be prouder of a group of Md as far as where they’ve come from and to where they’ve got­ten themselvei^.'”

it a one-goal game again with an unassisted effort at 9:56 of the second.

But Chartier’s drive from the left point was redirected off an Eagle player to put Stevenson back on top by two again, 5-3, at 12:48.

“We would rather not play that way,” Steven-

* son coach David Mitchell said. ‘We’d rather play a little more defensive and shut things down, but these guys next to m e— when Siey see opportxmi- ties—they tend to go. We saw some opportunities and took some, but give Hartiand credit in the world because once we started looking for goals.

they caught us. They turned around and buried some of their own.”

Although Stevenson held a 40-29 shots on goal advantage, it was no piece of cake as Hart- land (19-9-2) made things interesting just 14 sec­onds into &e third peri­od when Chris McRae notched his second goal of the game to cut the deficit to 54.

The Spartans’ inten­tion was to clamp down defensively ontering the thir(L

“That was the game plan coming out, but they (H artl^d) kind of changed our game plan a little bit because they got that early goal,” Mitch­ell said. “Everybody says that two-goal lead is not the best to have in hock­ey.

“They (Hartiand) do a very good job of mov­ing the puck and creat­ing opportunities. W e. knew this coming in. We knew it was going to be a hockey game and it was. I think was a little more entertaining than we would have liked, but good entertaining hock­ey game.”

Ironically, McRae’s sec­ond goal was the last of the game as the Spartans were able to fend off the Eagles, who were also maldng their first-ever state finals appearance.

After fighting off a Ste­venson power play. Hart- land made one last-ditch effort in an attempt to tie the game. The Eagles called timeout with 2:21 left and pulled Wine- ka for the extra attack­er in the final minute, but

couldn’t tally the equal­izer.

“They forechecked hard and we just got puck deep, get it out,” Harvey said. “Mitchell just teUs us get-puck out, glass it because no one is going to be us on offense. We committed to block shots, take it, play over the pain and it was going to be worth it all in the end.”

Stevenson held a 12- 9 shot advantage in the final period.

“It definitely wasn’t in the game plan to get in a shootout with them,” Hartiand coachRick Gadwa said. “But it’s a 5- 4 championship game, the crowd isi screaming, you can’t ask for a better game, I don’t think.

“That was typical Hart- land right there. A lot of games we’d fall behind

and have to battle back. Sometimes we finished

‘ on top and sometimes we didn’t. You talk about matching lines — our top line matched their top line. They went goal-for- goal. At lite end it comes down to a bounce here and there and they (Ste­venson) finished with the last good bounce. It was a solid effort both ways.”

In the Spartans’six- game run to the title, file 3-2 double-overtime quarterfinal victory over Ann Arbor Pioneer may have been the defining moment.

‘We got pressured by a good Ann Arbor Pio­neer team so we were comfortable in this sit­uation,” Mitchell said. “Whereas last time we weren’t as comfortable. The team learns and they

learned today. We stayed relaxed, we stayed calm and we had a Ipt of chanc­es to get that sixth goal. We didn’t get it, but we hung on.”

For Stevenson, it was a jubilant postrgame cel­ebration as players and coaches mobbed each other. j

And afterward, Mitch­ell was still beaming dur­ing the postgame press conference.

“It’s been a process for us all year,” ffie Steven­son coach said. ‘We’re a family and better than that, we’re mdre than a family, and I couldn’t be happier for the Steven­son administration and the alumni, and the whole Livonia conununity.”

C rusade rs ’ G ood in g N A IA h u r le r o f w eekLivonia’s Jeremy Good­

ing and Canton’s Dan Stoney combined to keep Avila University (Mo.) out of the hit column as the Madonna Universi­ty baseball team closed its 2013 spring trip with a sweep at the RussMatt Central Florida Invita­tional at Lake Myrtle Park.

The Crusaders took the opener, 2-1, followed by the no-hitter in an 8-0 vic­tory to improve to 12-5 overall.

Gooding (3-0), a right­hander from Dearborn Divine Child, went the first six innings for MU, walking five while strik­ing out nine before giving

way to Stoney*TTie Canton right-hand­

er allowed the lead- off runner to reach, but struck out the final two batters to compete the first MU no-hitter since the 2008 season.

Victor Barron and Steve Pelletier (Farmington Harrison) led MU’s 15-hit attack each going 3-for-4.

Alex' Charles and Jus­tin Cook contributed two hits apiece, while Shane Dokey and Barron each knocked in three runs.

Gooding was also named NAIA National Pitcher of the Week after finishing 2-0, including a 3-2 victory over No. 6- ranked Point Park (Pa.)

University on March 4.In that game, Gooding

allowed two runs on four hits and only one walk while striking out a sea­son-high 10.

Meanwhile, in Game One, MU scored a run in the bottom of the sixth to break a 1-1 tie and pull off a 2-1 win.

Matthew Cook (2-1) threw a complete game for the Crusaders, strik­ing out eight while allow­ing just a pair of base hits and one walk.

Dokey and Justin Cook combined for four of MU’s six hits, while Bar­ron collected the lone RBI.

Crampton struck out seven and did not allow a walk in seven innings to even her record at 44.

Karleigh Creighton (North Farmington) also added two hits.

Graves, ironically, spent her ninth-grade fall semester at King before transferring to Glenn.

“Maybe I still had the little butterflies in my stomach, but after that it was over,” she said of the slow start. “I played with some of the King players in AAU basically my whole life, so it was good playing against them. Actually, when I heard we were play­ing King, the idea was to beat them since I did come from there, so it was good.”

Bodi Graves and Raven Bankston managed to stay in the game despite each picking up their fourth fouls late in the third quarter.

Meanwhile, the third- quarter surge may have been a defining moment for Graves, according to Kovatch.

“I’ve been waiting for ShaKeya to do that ever since she came to Glenn,” he said. “She’s an incred­ible ballplayer. There’s nobody I’d rather have the ball in her hand. She’s a key player and she did it when it counted. I told her during one of those timeouts, ‘This is your time, now’s the time, now or never,’ and she went after it.”

King’s Martd Grays shared game-high scor­ing honors with Graves scoring 22 points, while Antania Hayes and LaQuita Hart added nine each.

The No. 1-ranked Cru­saders, however, went 1- for-7 from the field and committed four turn­overs in the final quar­ter while being outscored 114.

And to make matters worse. King went only 8- of-22 from the foul line.

“Our free throws were amiss and we had been

shooting better free throws better than that,” said King coach l^Miam Winfield, whose team fin­ished 24-1 overall. “But tonight just wasn’t our night. We missed a ton of chip shots. Especially in the second half, we just couldn’t finish around the basket. And that was the difference in the ball- game. really.

“We have no regrets. We had an outstanding year. Hopefully John Glenn can move forward and win the state champi­onship.”

It’s unclear whether Barnes, one of the Rock­ets’ four key guards, will be able to play full minutes against Grand Haven. She played brief­ly at the end of the first half against King, but sat out the entire second half.

“Against (Dearborn

Heights) Crestwood she tweaked her knee a lit­tle bit and we’re just not comfortable with her lat­eral movement,” Kovatch said. “We’re looking to get her a scholarship and we don’t want to put her out there where she can injure it more. So we’re taking it day-by-day, game-by-game.”

Filling in admirably in Barnes’ absence was5-5 junior guard India Gliespie-Perdue, perhaps the team’s best on-the- ball defender.

“She (Gliespie-Perdue) did a good job for her not to be a scorer,” Raven Bankston said. “With our point-guard out she did a real good job and I’m proud of her.

“We were determined, that’s all I’ll say.”

Speaker shares Story of rediscovering her Catholic faith

St. Michael the Arch- ' angel Parish continues

• the fourth season of its series, “Why Be Cath­olic,” at 7 p.m. Thurs­day, March 21 with guest spe^ier Kathleen Crom- bie, director of minority ■ outreach for Right to Life Michigan.

She’U share the sto­ry of rediscovering the fullness and truth of her faith.

Of her “awakening,” Crombie says, “Some­times God cw s us to see his hand in life-chang­ing ways. We prayed for my son to be healed phys- ic ^ y and God granted a miracle.' The unexpected bonus round was my own spiritual conversion and healing at the same time — conversion and healing that I didn’t even know I needed.”

Since rediscovering her faith, Crombie, who . has bachelor of science degree in speech from Northern Michigan Uni­versity and a master’s

degree in organizational communication and pub­lic relations from Wayne State University, has become whole-heartedly committed to the pro-life movement, completed a two-year study of Theol­ogy of the Body through the Cardinal Maida Insti­tute, co-founded the first Fatima Family Apostolate Married Marian Couples prayer group in Michi­gan. She also serves on . Ae board of directors for the Divine Mercy Cen­ter in Eastpointe, and is an accomplished iconog- rapher.

S t Michael’s is locat­ed at 11441 Hubbard, just south of Pljnnouth . Road, between Farming- ton Road and Merriman, in Livonia. No charge or reservations are required to attend.

St. Patrick’s Day celebration draws all ages for music, food, dance

B y S h a ro n D a rg a ystaff Writer

Mick Gavin hopes you’ll attend the annual St. Pat­rick’s Day party Sunday, March 17, at the Hellenic Cultural Center in West- land.

But if you want to stop by the Detroit Sympho­ny Orchestra concert in Detroit first, that’s okay with him, too.

“My son, Sean, is play­ing the symphony at Orchestra Hall,” said Gavin, a Bedford resi­dent and member of the Crossroads Ceili Band, which is set to play at the Hellenic Center in West- land.

His son will play flute and Devin Shepherd will be on fiddle. Both men are members of the band, Bua, which performs tra -. ditional Irish songs.

“They are playing Wheels of the World with the symphony. It’s an Irish classic. And they’re playing Mist Cov­ered Mountains, which is another Irish piece,” Gavin said. “The sym­phony is over at 5 p.m.You can be back (in West- land) to catch the Arden School of Dance at 6 p.m. and supper and a lot more music.”

The symphony con­cert starts at 3 p.m. on St. Patrick’s Day, Sun­day, March 17, at Orches­tra Hall, 3711 Woodward Ave.; Detroit. Tickets start at $14 and are avail­able at www.dso.org or call (313) 576-5111.

The 29th annual Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Fest runs 2 p.m.-9 p.m. Sim- day, at the Hellenic Cul­tural Center, 36375 Joy Road. Admission is $10 and children under 12 are adm itted at no charge. In addition to Gavin and the Cross- . roads Ceili Band, enter­tainment will include The Conor O’Neill’s session group, Eddie McGlinchey, Colin Paige, Ray Maguire, members of the Ardan and O’Hare schools of Irish dance, piper Calum MacNeill and the Dolowy family of Plymouth.

“It’s an hour earlier this year,” Gavin said, noting the start time. “I thought it would be nice for seniors and families who want to come in and have lunch.”

performing, the crowd, which will include rev­elers from as far awa^ „„ as Flint, Lansing and Ohio, can expect to hear more ballads this year. Dance performances are set for 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. and pipers will play at 4 p.m. There’s also a dance. flQor for attendees who want to quick step or waltz to the music.

“We usually have a lot of kids out there. They love to dance. The kids get to socialize with each other and run around and be a part of the party.We get babies to grand­mas and grandpas. The

whole family comes.They enjoy the food andthe nrusic. It’s a cultur- ... al celebration. And it’s an opportunity to celebrate the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, “ Gavin said, referring to St. Patrick, who preached in Ireland.

The Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Fest runs through 9 p.m. Corned beef and cabbage dinners, Irish Stew, hot dogs and a cash bar be available. For more information call (3 1 3 )5 3 7 -3 48 9 .

To be or not to be afraid of Shakespeare?

, You won’t have to ask yourself that ques­tion if you watch James Hartman’s edit­ed version of H am let,. which begins a three- weekend run March 22 at Schoolcreift College in Livonia.

“I expect that when we do Shakespeare, people are afraid of it. If they come to see my edited version they’d love it,” said Hartman, professor of theater and drama at the college. “If any Shakespeare scholars Were to see my play, they’d know editing was done, but they’d know the entire story is there and it makes sense.”

That’s because H art­man, who has edited seven other of Shake­speare’s plays, care­fully considered every word as he worked to make the language in the play more accessi­ble to the audience. He began revising Ham­let five years ago, took a break half way through to edit Romeo and Juliet — which he staged in 2012 — and then returned to Ham­let last year. He fin­ished the revision in June last year, but fig­ures he re-edited it six or seven more times over the summer.With all of his revised Shakespeare plays he also has tweaked the script after each rehearsal.

“I was able to see what worked on stage and what didn’t every night while in rehears­al. I thoroughly enjoy doing that.”

Hartman stresses that he maintains the Shakespearean-style language in the plays.

“It’s not modem lan- ^ a g e . I replace pro­nounce with nouns because sometimes when you hear ‘he,’ ‘she,’ ‘it,’ or ‘they,’ you may not remem­ber what it’s referring back to,” he explained.

E d i t in gt e c h n iq u e s

In Hamlet, he replaced some words, particularly those Shakespeare “made up” and that are dif­ficult to understand, with language that conveys informationmore clearly. He also

broke long sentenc­es into two or three to make the scripf easier to follow. He reduced multiple metaphors into the few “most powerful or most beautiful.”

“If you’ve ever read a contemporary edi­tion, u su^ly at the side (of the script)

there are tons of notes! I’ve taken what would have been notes and I have inserted the note into the line, making it sound like the actu­al line. Or I’ve taken the information and made an appositive in the line. It makes it so clear. In some cas­es where Shakespeare did not supply a sub­ject or verb, I did.”

Hartman’s editing also shortened the play. He has watched a performance of the full script at Strat­ford, Ont., Canada that ran three hours and 45 minutes. His version of Hamlet will run about two and a half hours, including a 10- minute intermission.

With opening night little more than a week away, Hartman, who had been sidelined with health issues during two weeks of rehearsal, is working quickly to ready light­ing, sound and pro­grams. Jason Kallas, an English teacher at the college, ran a few of the rehearsals in Hartman’s absence.

“I will take over the rest of the play now. He’ll stay on as fight choreographer.”

The first two week­ends of Hamlet include dinner at the college. The final weekend is show only. Get tickets from the bookstore on the main campus or call (734) 462-4596.

Hatch a delicious brunch with egg recipesSpring is an exciting time filled

with new life and bright colors blooming both in the garden and

in the kitchen. Inspired by these hues. and flavors, the e^qierts in the-McCor- mick Kitchens have developed a col­lection of recipes and tips for spring gatherings with a special focus on a star ingredient of the season — the egg.

Celebrate eggs by creating a deli­cious menu with warm cinnamon and bold mustard to wake up the flavors in savory, dishes such as brunch casse­roles and deviled eggs. Play up eggs in colorful fresh baked treats paired witib lemon, almond and vanilla extracts.

Once the menu is finalized, use these tips and ideas from the McCormick Kitchens to simplify your at-home gatherings:

» Make prep a snapi Enjoy more time with your guests by making no-fuss dishes that are easy to prepare ahead, like casseroles and fruit salads.

• Dellsieus devlleil eggs: Offer guests exciting variations on clas­sic deviled eggs by adding tarragon . paired with capers, or season with ± e unexpected flavor of curry.

«Add a "punch" @f celen Make the punch bowl part of the party ddcor. Start by mixing five to seven drops of food color into a punch bowl filled with your favorite springtime drink. Con­tinue to add more drops to achieve the desired hue.

• Artsy egg dyeing; Kids will love fun technigues.like sponge paint­ing, crackle color and tie-dyeing for a unique take on egg decorating. Mix 1/2 cup boiling water, 1 teaspoon vinegar and 10 to 20 drops food color in a cup to achieve desired colors. Repeat for each color.

»iatch Bake: Double-batch a festive dessert recipe like Easter Egg Cake. Bites, and vary the extracts and food color to make two unique treats in one effort. H y lemon extract paired with yellow food color, or raspberry extract paired with blue food color.

Keep fire safety in mind at nightclubs, stadiumsThe National Fire Protection Associa­

tion recendy marked the 10th anniver­sary of The Station nightclub fire that occurred in Rhode Islmd vdth a plea to the public to be cautious and keep safe­ty in mind when visiting ni^td iibs or similar venues. The Station fire occurred on Feb. 20,2003, and killed 100 people.

NFPA r^ i^ tly updated and expand­ed its resource page on assembly and nightclub fires in l i^ t of a January fire at the Kiss nightclt^ in Santa Maria, Brazil, that killed 238 people. The Kiss nightclub fire is ran k ^ tUrd on NFPA’s list of the deadliest nightclub fires in the world; The Station is ranked 10th.

“Wl^n selecting or settling into an entertainment venue like a n^ tclub , sports arena or restaurant for an eve­ning of enjoyment, how to get out if there in an emergency is probably not one of the first d ^ g s on your mind, but it should be,” said Lorraine Ca^U, NFPA’s vice president of Commu­nications. “Fire drills are or should be common practice for businesses and sdi(K)ls, dong with family home escape plans, so it’s only natural for this level of awareness to be carried over to oth­er places, even if you only plan on being there for a short time.”

For those visiting events in night­clubs or other places of assembly, there are basic tips to keep in mind w l^ entering a potentially unsafe gather­ing place.

B e fo re y o u e n te r:• Thkeagoodlook.• Have a communication plan• Plan a meeting placeW h en y o u e n te n• Locate exits immediately• Check for clear exit p a t^• Look for smoke alarms and fire

sprinklers• Do you feel safe?D u rin g a n e m e rg e n cy :• React immediately• Get out, stay out!Full descriptions of these steps, along

with videos, reports and further analy­sis, can be found at NFPA’s website.

NFPA is a worldwide leader in fire, electrical, building, and life safety. The mission of the international nonprof­it organization foimded in 1896 is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire end other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus c^ es and standards, research, training, and educatioa NFPA develops more than 3(K) codes and standards to mini­mize the poss9}ility and effects of fire and other h a^ d s.

Q: I have suggested to the board a more practica l way of dealing w ith pet droppings

at ourcondominium. It en ta ils having a p rofessional come in to pick up the droppings. What thinly?

W hile th a t process may be controversial, particu larly , because certa in people do not have dogs and believe th a t it is the responsib ility of the pet ow ner to clean uti, I am aw are of com m eptators who have suggested th a t approach, and, it m ay not be to tally unreasonable given the fac t th a t it could be p a rt of the m aintenance responsib ilities of the association, p articu larly if th e re a re a nuipber of dog ow ners who do notm ind paying, per by way of an add

tiapstional

assessm ent fo r tljiat service. W here it gets m ore “hairy” is if the cost of cleaning up is d istribu ted am ong all co-owners althoujgh, presum ably, the garbage pickup is paid by all co-owners through the association even {though some co-owners jiave m ore garbage than . o thers and/or some co­ow ners m ay not have any garage whenj they a re out of town, perhaps during the w inter. I t is not an idea, therefo re th a t should be to tally rejected , but I wbuld check w ith legal counsel fo r the association before im plem enting th a t plan.

Q: I have leaking in my basem ent. I ca lled the management company and the representative came out and looked at it and I paid a plum ber to give ipe an estim ate to correct the problem which included standing w ater in the sewage pipes fo r approxim ately five ye a rs . I have problem s with my p ipes and I th ink it is the association ’s resp o n sib ility .Do I have recourse wjth the management conipany, asso ciation , bu ilder, township inspector who signed o ff on the work or the State of M ichigan?

A: You need a ^ood law yer to give you your answ er, but generally speaking, if it is the association’s responsibility , you will need to put p ressu re on the association, as w ell as the m anaging agent, to take ca^e of your problem . The S tate of M ichigan and the tow nship building inspector a re not in a position to help you any m ore than your leg islato rs or congress persons. All too often, people look fo r help from “free sources” when th e ir best recourse is h iring a com petent attorney.
