How Milford football went from 'skinny kids on the block' to regional final

Milford's players and coaches are still learning new details about each other, months into a Michigan high school football season where seemingly every moment is shared, "I learned more about our team this week," Milford coach Andrew Micovich said Monday, Nov. 9. "We had some birthdays that we usually don't get to celebrate because we are usually done by this time." Those new celebrations are being squeezed around film sessions and practices as Milford continues with the most successful football season in recent program history. The Mavericks, 10-1, are alive as one of the final eight teams remaining in Division 2 in the MHSAA football playoffs, after winning a district championship last week for the first time since 2006. After sharing the Lakes Valley Conference title for the program's first conference title since 2006, Milford went into the playoffs and defeated Midland and Midland Dow to extend its winning streak to seven. "This is the deepest into the calendar I've ever played in all my years of football," said senior receiver Bryce Marszalek, a Northwood baseball commit. "I never thought I'd be playing football this late, but I'm excited. And I think we have a good shot to make it

Brighton considers altering setback rules for new chicken ordinance

Brighton councilmembers are split over whether to make changes to the municipality's chicken ordinance, just nine months after approving it. Brighton City Council approved an ordinance allowing residents to keep up to six chickens for personal use with a permit in February. Commercial uses, such as selling eggs, remain prohibited. Councilmember Susan Gardner wants officials to consider reducing the required setback from ten feet to five. She said accessory structures should have a common five-foot setback, so chicken coops can later be repurposed. "In the beginning, we do compare surrounding areas," Gardner said during a meeting Nov. 10. "We consider what has worked (well) in other communities — but then when you apply it to your own community, it gives an opportunity to get some feedback or maybe have a little bit of reflection on what’s working or maybe what could be changed.” Mayor Pro-Tem Jim Bohn opposed changing the ordinance, arguing the discussion was only coming up because one resident “created his own hardship” by putting up a chicken coop before chickens were permitted. Gardner said the discussion wasn't intended to appease anyone but to consider what's best for the community. She noted councilmembers have revisited and changed other

Area townships bulk at Dixie Highway lane reduction proposal

Several Oakland County townships say the Road Commission is heading in the wrong direction with a proposed $16 million road diet for Dixie Highway. Earlier this year, the Road Commission for Oakland County pitched a $16 million safety overhaul for Dixie Highway that would shrink a 10-mile stretch from Davisburg Road to the Genesee County line. Under the proposed plan, the existing four-lane road would be reconfigured into three lanes. Traffic would be reduced to one lane in each direction, separated by a center two-way left-turn lane.
