Back to the east side of the state.
I'm happy to announce that I will be the next Sports Editor at The Argus Press. The transition from Ludington to Owosso has been pretty smooth so far and I can't wait to get started.

The final score was actually 64-46 in favor of Chesaning. A combination of the officials changing a 3 to a 2 and me not knowing basic math led to the screw-up.
