Marine City wins

Marine City Wins State Championship! On Friday, my entire family and almost everyone in Marine City went down to Ford Field in Detroit to see Marine City win the Division 4 State Football Championship. We had a great time and it was a great game. I think the most excited fan in the stands was my grandmother at age 90 and a Marine City graduate from the class of 1935.

It was great to see another public school knock off a private school in the finals. It was also great to see the support in the stands for MC. The days attendance was 30,000 fans for the eigth teams that played that day. Marine City's fan support was estimated at over 8,000.

It was quite the celebration on Friday night.

Halloween

I was an 80s tennis star for Halloween. If I could find the hair I would have been Borg but I'm closer to Connors. Anyway, it was a fun night. I love the wooden racquet.
