Michigan DNR tackles invasive crayfish

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is investigating an infestation of invasive red swamp crayfish found in Cass County. While colder temperatures are slowing them down, state wildlife officials said the threat is not going away. Native to the southern United States, the crayfish become more active as temperatures rise. The DNR plans to assess the extent of the infestation next spring, when warmer weather makes the crayfish easier to detect. Kathleen Quebedeaux, fisheries biologist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, said the state will have people in the field to learn more as they work toward next steps. "In the spring, we would like to go out and talk with nearby landowners to the found invaded sites, determine how widespread that invasion is in that site in Cass County, and that will kind of determine our options," Quebedeaux said. In September, two dead specimens were found in a private pond near Niles, marking the county's first confirmed detection. Red swamp crayfish have been prohibited in Michigan since 2014, and populations were first detected in the state in 2017. Residents can report suspected sightings and learn more at Michigan.gov/invasives . Invasive red swamp crayfish can damage aquatic vegetation, compete

South Bend Tribune staff predicts IHSAA football regional championships

And then there were three. After last week’s sectional slate where seven South Bend Tribune coverage area teams competed for championships, only Penn , Concord and Northridge emerged victorious. The Kingsmen and Minutemen are back in the regional round for a second straight season, while the Raiders advanced past sectional play for the first time since 2022. All three of these squads are favored to capture regional crowns come Friday night, but does The Tribune’s staff agree? More: All of the 2026 fall sports all-Northern Indiana Conference teams Find out below. IHSAA 6A Regional Championship: No. 6 Penn (11-0) at No. 5 Crown Point (11-0), 7:30 p.m. ET Analysis: This should be one of the most competitive games in the state this week, and certainly the most competitive in The Tribune coverage area. It’s a game many Kingsmen players have been looking forward to for years, such as senior Mohammad Al-Gburi, who said beating the Bulldogs in last season’s sectional championship game wasn’t enough revenge after Crown Point ended Penn’s season when he was a freshman and a sophomore. You’d have to assume the feeling is mutual on the other side after Penn beat the Bulldogs by just four points
