High school football: Breaking down the top games in Round 3

Detroit Edison coach Chan Brock wasn’t going to get caught looking ahead. With Edison (10-1) facing Clinton in the Division 6 district final last Saturday, he could have spent the night before scouting Ecorse (10-1) for a potential regional final matchup between the Charter School Conference rivals on Saturday, Nov. 14. Instead, he used that time to get an extra night of preparation for Clinton. It paid off when Edison pulled off a 26-24 comeback victory to win its third district title in four seasons. But the second Brock handed the championship trophy to his captains, his attention shifted to Ecorse, which Edison narrowly defeated 30-20 in a de facto CSC Gold Division title game in Week 8. More: How a boxing gym helped Detroit Edison football handle adversity “Ecorse now has our full attention,” Brock said. “Obviously, we played them before, but we know it’s not going to be the same team. We know they’re going to play us harder, so we’ve got to play harder, too.” That’s a scary thought considering how well Edison played against Clinton, which was a 15-point favorite according to the analytics released by high school football website Goosepoop.

Dearborn city officials have ordered a halt to construction work on a hotel where authorities said they found evidence of possible human trafficking and families, including adults and children, living illegally in the large hotel. Hassan Abbas, a city spokesman, confirmed on Thursday, Nov. 12 that Dearborn officials have issued a stop-work order for the Edward Hotel & Convention Center, a 722-room hotel that's being remodeled.

Livonia Franklin football wants to keep post-victory tradition going

LIVONIA — Adversity can tear some teams apart. For Livonia Franklin (9-2), it did the opposite. A close call in Week 7 sparked the six-game winning streak that has carried Franklin through the Division 2 playoffs. After edging Allen Park, 35-28, in the opener, Franklin upset unbeaten Gibraltar Carlson , 17-6, to capture its 10th district title and first since winning back-to-back championships in 2021 and 2022. Franklin visits Grosse Pointe South (10-1) Friday, Nov. 13, with a shot at the state semifinals for the fifth time in program history. That Week 7 scare against 1-8 White Lake Lakeland set everything in motion. Franklin trailed 14-0 before rallying for a 35-28 victory. “That game really taught us that we can’t take any team lightly, no matter what their record is,” junior Tyler Brown said. “We can’t over complicate how we prepare. We’ve just got to work hard no matter who the opponent is.” More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter Instead of pointing fingers, the players leaned on their chemistry.

Deep dive: What it's like to photograph a shipwreck

Detroit News photographer Andy Morrison was certified in SCUBA in 2001 and has been diving shipwrecks ever since. Among the wrecks he's photographed: Bell P-39 Air Cobra, Eber Ward, Dunderberg, City of Detroit. Here, he shares what makes these assignments both challenging and exhilarating. Q. What drew you to this kind of specialized photography ? How long did it take to become SCUBA certified? A: I initially got certified as something to do away from my day job as a photojournalist. Basic scuba took a few months to months. There's classroom work, then pool sessions and finally you're in open water certification dives. I grew up a huge Jacques Cousteau fan, watching his documentaries as a kid in Iowa, and always wanted to scuba dive. I just wanted to enjoy being underwater, but after seeing my first shipwreck, I knew I wanted to take a camera with me. More: It's not finders keepers for most Great Lakes shipwrecks. Here's why Q: What kind of specialized equipment do you need for these assignments? A: Advanced training is the most important thing you need to photograph shipwrecks. You always have to remember you're a diver first, photographer second. It's a lot to
