What a week in Chelsea, Dexter

What a week it's been athletically in Chelsea and Dexter. Over in Dexter, the Dreadnaughts competed for a state championship in two different sports on the same day last Saturday. What an accomplishment for the Dreadnaught athletic department. Though both the boys' cross country and soccer teams finished as state runner-up last Saturday, the fact both squads even had the chance to hoist the state championship hardware, is something worth noting.

In Chelsea, the top-ranked and undefeated Bulldog football team takes on East Lansing in the Division 3 state regional final tomorrow. Chelsea has never advanced past the regional final in football. A year ago, the Bulldogs lost on a last-second touchdown to Fowlerville in the regional championship game. Will history repeat itself, or will Chelsea break through the regional final barrier tomorrow? There is no clear cut favorite in Division 3 this season, so the Bulldogs' chances of reaching Ford Field are the best they've been in years.
