SUMMARY: I was extremely nervous but proud. Coach Silver hugged me, and I nearly lost it. We’ve wanted this for a while and finally achieved it, winning three years in a row, which is incredibly tough. The feeling we have now should motivate us for next year. I’m upset and disappointed mainly because I won’t be with the same group of guys. Every day was exciting, and I’d give my life for them, as they would for me. It’s different at RI—they don’t understand. I thank God for this special squad; they surpassed expectations not just on the field but as leaders and men. I’m immensely proud.

High school baseball season ended over the weekend. The MHSAA championship series wrapped up Saturday. Here’s a look at the sights and sounds of those final moments.

SUMMARY: In Jackson’s Democratic mayoral primary, Senator John Horn nearly avoided a runoff despite low voter turnout. Horn will face incumbent Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba in a runoff on April 22nd, after securing over 7,000 more votes than Lumumba. Many voters, including some who typically lean Republican, supported Horn for his hard campaigning and ability to get things done. However, Horn’s vote share fell short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. The winner of the runoff will advance to the June 3rd general election. Voters are seeking a mayor who is transparent and effective in managing city resources.
