Sixth graders to move

Red Cedar will close
MERIDIAN TWP. – Orga-
nizers of the Meridian Heritage Festival hope an earlier
date will result in more
favorable weather.
The festival, which celebrates the township’s origins going back to the
mid-19th century, will be
held from 10 a.m. to
3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24 at
the Meridian Historical Village.
Festival-goers will find
lots to do, from a sampling
of pioneer and Native
American foods to musical
entertainment, games and
special exhibits.
The village is located
at 5151 Marsh Road, in
the township governmental
complex.
There is no admission
charge, but plan to bring
spending money for food
and crafts.
The 2011 festival offers
many new activities, notably a Vintage Base Ball
game at 1 p.m. between the
Chelsea Monitors and the

Vintage Base Ball is
played with rules circa the

strange to modern baseball
fans; for example, a runner

CIVIL WAR EXHIBIT
This features the personal story Hubert F. Miller of Ingham
County. His life was forever changed by one of the strangest
battles of the Civil War — the Battle of the Crater. Union troops
dug a tunnel and placed explosives to destroy Confederate
defenses at Petersburg. He was captured in that battle and
spent seven months in the infamous Danville Prison. His story is
told through excerpts of letters between Hubert and his “dear
friend” Lucia. Numerous persona artifacts will be on display.

should consider bringing
their own chairs.
The Michigan Barn Preservation Network will host
a Children’s Barn Raising
all day in the main barn, in
which youngsters can get
an idea of what it was like
to help their neighbors with
an important task.
Games of horseshoes
and croquet will go on
during the day.

EAST LANSING – Two meetings remain
before the East Lansing School Board officially decides on a major overhaul of the
use of its school buildings, but it does
have a tentative plan, approved by just one
vote.
After more than a three-hour meeting
Sept. 8, a recommendation that shifts the
sixth grade to MacDonald Middle School
and keeps five K-5 schools, except Red
Cedar Elementary, was approved by a 4-3
vote.
A final vote on the recommendation is
scheduled to take place Monday, Sept. 26.
A public hearing – where
the only agenda item will
be public comments on the
plan – will be held at 6 p.m.
Monday, Sept. 19 at MacDonald, 1601 Burcham.
The $62 million price tag
for additions, renovations
and remodeling to the six Chapin
schools is proposed to be
financed with an extension of the existing
7-mill debt levy. That request is expected
to go to voters in February 2012.
“We have a great possibility to reenergize our elementary schools and elementary education,” said Chapin, whose
recommendation the board endorsed.

Plan
Continued from Page 1
Red Cedar worries
Board members opposing the
plan were concerned about the
closure of Red Cedar for the
2016-17 school year. The argued
it is renowned for its internationally diverse student body and the
resulting multiculturalism.
It’s also one of East Lansing’s
smallest schools, with 198 resident K-6 students in the most
recent count.
Red Cedar students have a
“phenomenal opportunity and
experience,” board member
Donna Rich Kaplowitz said.
“We have a great
possibility to
re-energize our
elementary schools
and elementary
education.”
DAVID CHAPIN, superintendent
“I’m not sure the (Red Cedar)
program can continue in another
area,” trustee Nell Kuhnmuench
added. Once closed, Red Cedar
students and faculty would move
to Glencairn.
Bringing students from Red
Cedar into a larger community is
in “the best interest of all”, Babs
Krause offered in support of the
plan.
WHAT’S NEXT
A final vote on the recommendation
is scheduled to take place Monday,
Sept. 26. A public hearing – where
the only agenda item will be public
comments on the plan – will be
held at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 at
MacDonald, 1601 Burcham.
Moving central office
Board members made several
amendments to Chapin’s recommendation, unanimously approving a motion by George Brookover
to move district offices into Red
Cedar once the Timberlane property is sold or otherwise occupied.
The rest of the building would
have an alternative educational
use of some type, with possibilities including a public preschool
– something East Lansing Public
Schools does not offer, having
turned pre-school administration
over to the city some years ago.
Chapin had recommended a
move into the third floor of the
Hannah Community Center, offering the potential for shared services with City of East Lansing.
An amendment by Kaplowitz

Dr. David Chapin, Red Cedar School would close following the 2015-16
school year. COURTESY PHOTOGRAPH
to consider a Spanish-language
program equally with the existing Chinese immersion program
at Red Cedar passed 5-2.
East Lansing director of planning and community development Tim Dempsey told the board
that while census data from 2010
shows an overall population
growth in the city, the number of
school-aged children has declined
over the last decade.
Fewer young students
Total population is up 4.6 percent to 55,177, but there are 104
fewer children age 5 and younger
and 607 fewer children aged five
to 17.
The trend is not unique to East
Lansing, Dempsey continued, as
Meridian Township – home to the
Haslett and Okemos districts –
and Ingham County have seen
similar drops.
“We are not alone in this,”
he noted. Case in point: The
area’s fastest-growing population
is those 85 and older.
And while census data does not
reflect the stories of families who
have moved into East Lansing
in the last two years, Dempsey
said new residents may only be
making a dent in losses from earlier in the decade.
One new arrival is Kedzie
Street resident Lisa Rutkowski,
who moved from Minnesota 18
months ago – ironically, from
a district undergoing the same
kinds of decisions.
“We have a chance to make it
better,” Rutkowski said. “I encourage everyone to focus on the
long-term viability of the school
district, not just on one school
building.”

OKEMOS – With every-
thing her son Luke has
been through, Monica
Fochtman figures a little
hair isn’t a big loss.
The Okemos mother of
two is will be in
Washington, D.C. on
Wednesday, Sept. 21 as
part of the 2011 class of
46 Mommas Shave for the
Brave.
She’ll be there because
Luke Fochtman, a 5-1/2
year-old kindergartner at
St. Thomas Aquinas School
in East Lansing, is a cancer
survivor.
Fochtman and the other
45 Mommas will all shave
their heads in support of
their children.
The group’s name
comes from what could be
a particularly grim statistic: Each weekday in the
U.S., 46 mothers are told
their child has cancer.
Donations to the
46 Mommas go to
St. Baldrick’s, a charitable
organization known as the
world’s largest volunteer
fundraiser for research
into childhood cancer.
Luke was diagnosed
with Stage IV Embryonal
Rhabdomyosarcoma, a
cancer of the muscles
attached to the bones and
one of the most common
cancers in young children.
The diagnosis came
Dec. 12, 2008, just five days
after his third birthday.
Suspicious lump
MORE INFO
“We found a suspicious
lump in his groin, and
went to our pediatrician,”
Monica Fochtman said of
the initial discovery. Looking back, there were signs
something was wrong –
changes in personality,
complaints of pain and
photos which show him
leaning to one side.
While helping Luke get
dressed for bed one day,
the lump was visible. While
the lump didn’t raise alarm
bells right away, one
doctor visit was enough to
make them concerned.
“We weren’t alarmed
until we took him to see
our pediatrician on a
Wednesday, and I didn’t
become alarmed until we
had an appointment down
at University of Michigan
Hospital by Friday morning,” Monica Fochtman
said.
Their pediatrician, she
continued, “knew exactly
what he was looking at and
how far it had gone.”
At U-M, Luke underwent an MRI and an ultrasound. The diagnosis came
by 5 p.m.
“I felt absolute terror,”
Monica Fochtman said.
“Fear, anger – just absolute
terror.” The cancer had
already spread to other
organs, including Luke’s
lungs.
The family eventually
went through 15 months
of treatment, as infections

and other complications
extended the original
54-week schedule. Several
different chemotherapy
treatments were used,
along with six weeks of
daily radiation.
Remarkable patient
Through it all, Luke was
by all reports a remarkably tolerant patient.
“We were very fortunate in that Luke was
so young. It was hard to
believe it at the time, but
his age was actually a
great asset to his treatment,” Monica Fochtman
said.
And while he hasn’t
asked too much yet about
what he endured, Luke’s
parents expect he will
eventually.
“I don’t think he was old
enough to ask tough questions,” dad Sean Fochtman
said.
“It’s what he was doing
at the time. I bet we’ll get
those tough questions later,
when he turns 11 or 12 or
13 and he realizes what he
went through as a 3-yearold.”
“This was a boy who
had bacterial infections so
severe that he was throwing up in the middle of
the night with a 105-degree
fever, who we then took
in the middle of the night
to University of Michigan
Hospital,” Monica Fochtman added.
“He didn’t say no. That’s
not a parental exaggeration because I think my kid
is so great – he didn’t say
no, ever.”
Not only a positive attitude helped him fight the
cancer – there were video
games too.
“We’ve been boxing on
the Wii, with bags, and
we would pretend the bags
were like chemo, and we
would fight it out,” Luke

The Fochtman family of Okemos (from left, Connor, dad
Sean, mom Monica and son Luke) are banding together for
46 Mommas Shave for the Brave, taking place Wednesday,
Sept. 21 in Washington, D.C. 5-year-old Luke is a cancer
survivor, and Monica will be having her head shaved in his

soundtrack for the fight?
Survivor’s “Eye of the
Tiger”.
The whole family –
including Luke and his
younger brother, Connor –
will be there in Washington
to help handle the clippers.
Monica Fochtman said
she’s not the least bit concerned about shaving her
head – in fact, she had
asked Luke if she could do
it during his treatment. He
said no.
“I’m happy to do it, I’m
proud, and I want people
to ask me why I have no
hair,” she said.

Independent, foreign films available in Okemos
Carol Grund
| For the Towne Courier
I
n cities around the world,
movie fans flock to small
theatres and art-house
cinemas to watch
award-winning, independent and
foreign films.
In the greater Lansing area,
they need go no further than the
Okemos branch of the Capital
Area District Library.
For more than five years, the
Okemos Library has contracted
with a New York City-based film
distribution company called Film
Movement.
The agreement allows them to
access feature films and shorts
from 37 countries on six continents, including top prize winners from Sundance, Cannes,
Venice, Toronto, Berlin, Tribeca
and other prestigious festivals.
Public Services Librarian
Eric Stanton is in charge of
screening the films in advance
and hosting the viewings.
“We show a short followed by
a feature film every third Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m.,”
he says. “Everything is free —
we even serve popcorn and soft
drinks provided by our Library
Friends group.”
Thought provoking
depict some aspect of the human
experience, showing how people
cope in the context of that particular culture.”
Okemos
librarian Eric
Stanton shows
two of his
favorite titles
from the
library’s
collection of
independent
and foreign
films.
Older audience
Stanton finds that viewers
who are attracted to these kinds
of films enjoy the thought-provoking topics and themes, which
contrast sharply with typical or
formulaic Hollywood movies.
Many viewers lament the loss
of the Odeon Theatre, which
closed in 1998, and express their
appreciation to the library for
filling the gap.
In addition to film fans, the
screenings also appeal to viewers interested in learning about
other cultures, or those looking
for a connection to a culture they
left behind.
“The greater Lansing area
is very internationally diverse,
especially because it’s home to
MSU,” Stanton points out.
“Although these films represent different cultures and
styles, they have one thing
in common — filmmakers who
Because many of the films
deal with intense issues and
mature themes, the library recommends them for adults and
older teens.
“We do get some feel-good
titles, though,” Stanton says. “A
few years ago we screened ‘The
Great Match,’ about the extreme
efforts of soccer fans in developing countries to gain access
to television broadcasts of World
Cup matches. My son was a
tween and really enjoyed it —
even with the subtitles!”
While there isn’t time for
formal discussion, viewers often
chat with each other following
a screening. Sometimes they’ll
approach Stanton at the information desk and want to continue discussing the films, days
or even weeks later.
When asked about his own
favorites, Stanton has a hard
COURTESY PHOTO
time choosing. “There have been
so many good ones,” he says
“I’d probably go with ‘Be
with Me’ from Singapore, or
maybe ‘Adams Apples’ from
Denmark.”
Once the films have been
shown, the DVDs become part of
the library’s collection.
That means anyone with a
CADL card can check out and
enjoy the films at home. Stanton
maintains a list of the titles,
so patrons can easily find them.
Titles for upcoming screenings
are available in the library’s
event guide and online at
cadl.org/events.

Fall Home Improvement
Is D-I-Y a recipe for saving money overall?
Many homeowners or renters
wrestle with the question of
whether to tackle a project as
a do-it-yourself venture to save
some money or simply leave it
to a professional. Each situation
is unique, but there are certain
factors that must be considered
regardless of a homeowner’s particular situation.
On the surface, a DIY task can
seem a very good way to save
some money. After all, a large
percentage, sometimes as much
as 50 percent, of the cost of hiring
a contractor goes toward labor.
For a DIY job with no such costs,
the final financial tally can be substantially less.
Although labor can be expensive, that cost is often justified.
People who hire carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and the like
are paying for the workers’ experience. They’re also paying with
the expectation that the job will
be done correctly. With jobs that
require a building permit or must
be done to specific code, the
contractor often puts his reputation on the line and will be held

because of the skill level required. FILE PHOTO
accountable if the work doesn’t
meet requirements.
That isn’t to say an untrained
individual can’t tackle a specific
job around the house. There are
some guidelines that may make
such projects go more smoothly
and, as a result, more affordable.
• Read up and learn as much
as you can about the particular
work to be done. It’s easier to
make mistakes if you do not know
where to start.
• Talk to others who have also
done the work. They may have
some tips or advice that can save
you time and money. You may
also want to ask if they can help
and show you the ropes.
• Be sure to obtain all neces-
sary permits before starting any
work. Don’t risk a fine for doing
work without permits or having
work inspected.
• When applying for permits,
find out if there is a list of codespecific requirements that you
can follow -- a cheat-sheet of
sorts. It may list rated materials
required and any techniques. See
if you can speak to an inspector
who will be visiting your property later on to find out what he or
she looks for specifically.
• You must feel confident with
the endeavor. If you are unsure
about anything, you may risk
injury or make a significant mistake and be forced to hire someone to clean up your mess.
• Consider reputable sources
for information. While it’s easy
to go online and scour message
boards for pointers on certain
tasks, not all of the information
is accurate. Trust only content
from sources that are licensed or
backed by certification in a certain area.
These things being said, there
are a number of DIY projects that
regular people can try. Starting
off small and building up as skills
are developed are good ways to
begin. For example:
• Tile a small kitchen backsplash before tackling an entire
bathroom shower enclosure or
floor.
• Build an outdoor potting
stand before attempting furniture
or cabinetry work in a main room
of the house.
• Change out a ceiling fan
or lighting fixture before re-running electrical lines through the
home.
• Succeed in repairing a leaky
drain pipe before taking on a
more advanced plumbing issue.
• Use regular painting techniques first before experimenting
with a trendy faux finish or plaster application.
There are many different
things individuals can do themselves that stretch beyond routine
home maintenance. From manicures to pool upkeep, the potential to save money when budgets
are tight can be a powerful motivator.
Ways to ready your home to withstand harsh winter weather
insulation. Such joists won’t be
visible in an adequately insulated attic.
Put up the storm windows. It’s
nice to open the windows in the
spring and summer and let the
warm air waft in through the
screens. But when summer is
over, it’s time to put up the storm
windows once again. Storm windows add an extra layer of protection from the elements and
are especially valuable in homes
with single-pane glass windows.
Homeowners who don’t have
storm windows should consider
upgrading their existing windows. Such a project isn’t cheap,
but newer windows will almost
certainly lead to lower heating
costs, meaning the project will
essentially pay for itself over
time. Homeowners who can’t
afford to replace all of their windows don’t have to replace them
all at once. Instead, replace them
a few at a time and make the
rooms where you spend the most
time each winter the first on the
list to receive new windows.
Be diligent with the gutters.
Leaves falling from trees is an
idyllic image associated primarily with autumn. Unfortunately,
when leaves fall they often fall
into the gutters. Routinely clean
the gutters once the leaves start
to fall. Clean gutters will allow
snow and rain to effectively
drain through the gutters. If the
gutters are clogged, snow might
have nowhere to go when it
begins to melt, and roof damage
might result. Such damage is
costly but preventable in most
instances. One of the easier preventive measures to take is to
routinely clean the gutters of
leaves and other debris that
accumulate during the fall.
When cleaning the gutters,
make sure they are properly
aligned. Poorly aligned gutters
can lead to a host of problems.
One such problem is flooding.
If downspouts are not properly
aligned with the rest of the gutters, then water might not be
directed away from the home as
it’s intended.
Instead, water might be
directed toward the home,
resulting in flooding or additional
water damage.
Have the furnace cleaned.
Experts recommend annual furnace cleanings. Before cold
weather arrives, turn the furnace on to make sure it’s still
working.
An unpleasant odor should
appear when first turning on the
furnace, but it shouldn’t last very
long.
If the odor sticks around, turn
the furnace off and call a professional. Once winter arrives,
routinely replace the filters. This
makes the furnace operate more
efficiently and can also reduce
the risk of fire.

their disposal to plug leaks, be it
door sweeps that block air from
entering under exterior doors
to caulk applied around leaky
windows. When using caulk outdoors, be sure to use a weatherresistant caulk or, if sealing
brick, use masonry sealer.
Add insulation upstairs. Homeowners who have an attic in
their homes might want to consider adding some insulation up
there.
Experts recommend a minimum of 12 inches of insulation
in the attic. That might prove
costly, but a poorly insulated
attic is akin to opening the front
door and letting the heat out.
It might be best for less-thanhandy homeowners to hire a professional to insulate the attic.
But do-it-yourselfers might
find it good to know that if the
ceiling joists, which are often 11
inches or less, are visible, then
the attic is in need of additional
FALL HOME IMPROVEMENT 2011
As autumn arrives, homeowners can take several steps to get
their homes ready for whatever
winter has to offer with the following tasks.
Fix the leaks. A leaky home
will prove an expensive home
during the winter months. A
home with many leaks will be
much colder to inhabit, and homeowners typically turn up the
heat to counter drafts that can
make a home feel like a meat
locker. But turning up the thermostat isn’t the answer. Instead,
fix leaks in the fall before the
cold weather arrives.
Leaks should not be very hard
to find. On the first breezy
autumn afternoon, walk around
the house in search of any
drafty areas. These drafts will
be noticeable and often occur
around doors and window
frames, electrical outlets and
even recessed lighting. Homeowners have a host of options at
Things to consider when budgeting your home improvement
Home

projects have become de

projects
remain a goal for many.
As enticing as a home
improvement project might
be, no project can be successful until a budget has
been established. The right
budget will keep homeowners from going deep into
debt when improving their
homes, ensuring that, upon
the project’s completion,
they can fully enjoy their
revamped castles without
the specter of significant
debt hanging ominously
over their heads.
Before beginning a home
improvement project, homeowners can take the
following things into consideration.

Many
homeowners
finance home improvement
projects with loans from
the bank. Particularly in
the current economy when
banks are being forced to
tighten lending requirements, securing such loans
isn’t easy. Homeowners
with significant credit card
debt should eliminate such
debt before beginning a
project. Doing so serves
multiple purposes. First and
foremost, eliminating outstanding debt will free up
more money to allocate
toward the project. Eliminating debt will also make
loan applicants more attractive to prospective creditors,
increasing
their
chances of securing a loan

incomes, and then deterIt sounds simple, but mine what’s left that might
to just how necessary the
project is. For example, a
man cave might be a dream
project, but should it be a
priority over other things
around the house? If wear
and tear is taking its toll
on the roof, for instance,
the money going toward the
man cave should probably
be allocated to replacing
the roof instead. If a project is low on the priority list
but high on the want list,
re-examine those projects
higher up on the priority
list to determine if they are
more deserving of immediate attention and funds than
vanity projects.
Overrun costs:
Not every home improvement project will come in
at or under budget. Many
go over budget due to a
host of factors. Homeowners should not be caught off
guard when a project goes
over budget. Instead, plan
for the project to go over
and expect such frustration.
Allocate extra money in the
original budget for overrun costs. This will reduce
stress and frustration, and
if the project comes in
under budget, then there’s
extra money when the project is completed.

Fall lawn care, winter growth
Warm-weather days will soon
be a thing of the past and
that means prepping the home
and landscape for the arrival
of winter weather. Even though
it may be blanketed first by
leaves and snow, lawns need
treatment now to be sure they
overwinter successfully. In fact,
lawn experts say there is significant root growth that takes
place during the winter -growth homeowners won’t necessarily see.
People should continue to
water their lawns throughout
the autumn if there isn’t significant rain and to aerate it as
well. Applying a fertilizer that is
high in nitrogen can help foster
strong root growth. Also, keep
up on removing leaves that have
fallen.
Not only will they stifle the
lawn, but they may cause excessive moisture and mold to grow
while inhibiting sunlight from
reaching the grass as well.
Before winter arrives, take the
time to sow some grass seeds
into the bald patches.

right equipment. At times homeowners are unsure about High capacity pleated filwhether they need to use primer or if just paint will do
the trick. Although there are no firm rules, there are certain cases where one or the other will be adequate.
Consider a room where the walls have been heavily
stained, either by moisture infiltration, rust or another
factor. Deep-set stains may bleed through regular paint,
therefore a primer should be applied. There also are specialized primers that can be used in rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms that often contain a lot of moisture.
These primers inhibit the growth of mold and mildew on
painted surfaces. If a room is only to be painted white
or tinted slightly with color, then a primer alone can be
used.
Rooms that are being painted that are already white
and free of stains or other surface abnormalities may be
painted sufficiently with just a coat of regular paint. If
skipping primer, look for a high-quality, thick paint that
boasts good coverage in one or two coats.
There are new products today that offer primer and
paint all in one combination. The jury is still out on the
efficacy of these new items, but homeowners can experiment with these paints to see if they work for them.

said.
Schmidt’s opponent in
the August 2012 Democratic
primary will be another
former East Lansing mayor,
Sam Singh, who announced
his candidacy in May.
“I look forward to comparing my proven track
record on education, MSU,
economic development and
the environment against
any candidate,” Singh said
by phone Wednesday.
Schmidt served as Meadows’ chief of staff for five
years before stepping down.
Her last day in Meadows’
office was Friday, Sept. 2.

East Lansing, including her

as president.
While on the school
board, Schmidt helped lead
efforts to win voter

East Lansing schools, and
also assisted efforts to get
what is now the East Lansing Aquatic Center built.
Schmidt received the

If elected, Schmidt said
she would focus on tying

more closely to workforce
development and efforts to
revive the economy.
She would also focus
on “reinvesting” more state

EAST LANSING — Javon
Haines knew his junior
class had big shoes to fill
heading into the season.
Now, entering the fifth
week of football, Haines
hopes to continue the success they’ve
h e l p e d
create so far.
E a s t
Lansing
improved to
3-0, grabbing Coach
a 54-6 victor Feraco
y over Jackson Sept. 9 in their first
league matchup. The Trojans were at Eastern Friday,
and will host Holt on Sept.
23.
“We have a lot of depth
so that’s really helping us,”
Haines said. “I just feel like
being a junior, I know my
class has talent and that we
can come up and help the
seniors.”
Haines, also a basketball
standout for East Lansing,
scored two touchdowns
along with J.R, Lara who
added two and Elijah Hamilton-Wray who scored three
in the victory over Jackson. Haines also racked up
two interceptions in the victory.
“He’s a heck of an athlete,” Feraco said. “He is
a very good football player
and he is a playmaker and
he is going to be even better
as he continues to play. We
are excited to have him as a
wide receiver.”
Defensively, the Trojans
are off to a strong start. Last
season East Lansing gave
up just 11.2 points per game
and Feraco hasn’t been any
less impressed this year.
If there’s one thing
Feraco has been stressing
this season, it’s offensive
consistency. The Trojans
have had a balanced scoring attack so far but Feraco
will be expecting more as
the Trojans prepare to face
some of their toughest competition in the upcoming
weeks.

Feraco said after defeating
Jackson.“Each week we
need to practice a little bit
better. If we do that, we will
take whatever happens.”
Hamilton-Wray said he’s
hoping to expand on the
success of last season.
“We are trying to do the
same things we did last year
when we were 7-2,” he said.
“I know we lost a lot of
senior so all of us seniors
knew we had to step up
this season and we are getting a lot of help from the
juniors.”
Haines agreed.
“We still have a lot to
improve on but I think a
lot of people work hard
in practice,” he said. “We
have people coming off the
bench, helping the starters
out. Offensively we have a
lot to work on but I really
have high expectations for
the season.”
Haslett volleyball team knocks off rival
Kelsey Pence
| kpence@lsj.com
HASLETT — Wendy McCann let her Haslett
volleyball team know prior to the season that
she wasn’t lowering her expectations.
And despite losing all their starters from
last season, the Vikings have proved they are
still a threat in the CAAC Red.
McKenna Ott had 15 kills and Jess Tyrer had
31 assists as Haslett improved to 5-2 last Tuesday, defeating league rival DeWitt 25-23, 25-17,
25-17.
“Yes, there’s a rivalry between us and
DeWitt, and it’s a big rivalry,” McCann said.
“But I really believe that our kids have come to
realize that it’s every game that counts.”
Lexy Mitchell had 19 digs for the Vikings,
who are now 2-0 in conference play.
While McCann knew she’d see big things
from Tyrer, the senior setter said she’s been
pleasantly surprised with how well her team is
clicking.
“Our chemistry is great for how young we
are,” she said. “We haven’t played together that
long, but we all connect really good. I didn’t
know we were going to have this much control
over the whole game and I was really proud of
us tonight.”
Both Tyrer and McCann believe there is a
lot of potential for improvement for the Vikings
through the rest of the season.
“We have a lot of work to do,” McCann said.
“We have young kids and can only get better
which is kind of cool. I am really excited to
keep working on our offense and make it more
diverse because I have such strong athletes.”
“I think it is going to go even better farther
on in the season,” Tyrer said. “We just set a lot
of team goals and individual goals at practice to
make sure that we’re working as hard as we can
at all times. We have a really young team, but I
think our potential is really high.”
With DeWitt having a young team as well,
Tuesday’s match looked to be evenly matched.
But Haslett was able to control play from the
start.
“We came out on our heels and they came
out ready to play,” DeWitt coach Christy Drayton said. “We always set high expectations and Haslett’s Lexy Mitchell (12), who is obstructed
our first goal is to win the league.
from view, and Makenna Ott (10) defend
“We are young, but we want to make a run at the net against DeWitt’s Kaylee Schmitt.
every single year no matter how many girls we MATTHEW DAE SMITH\LSJ MEDIA
graduate. No matter what kind of a team I have,
those are our expectations.”
Cassie Bell had 23 digs for the Panthers.
DeWitt won the CAAC Gold division last Carly Stieve had 21 assists and seven blocks
year before moving to the Red this season.
and AJ Jaconette had 11 kills.
