Marian volleyball ousts Farmington Hills Mercy in Division 1 regional final

BLOOMFIELD HILLS — The top two teams in the state did not disappoint in the Division 1 regional finals matchup, and there will officially be a new champion to end the year. No. 2-ranked Birmingham Marian survived a back-and-forth bout to defeat defending champion Farmington Hills Mercy in four sets, 25-23, 26-24, 21-25, 25-17. The win avenges what was a 1-3 record against Mercy this year, topping off its sole victory that came in the Catholic League Bishop championship game. The matchup exemplified the story of the last decade of Division 1 volleyball in the state, as six of the last seven champions have been one of the two programs. Heading into the game, Marian head coach Mayssa Cook knew it wouldn’t just be any other playoff game, but luckily the history between the two allowed for an anticipated approach. “I knew we had to have middles involved,” Cook said. “I said to them, ‘Ladies, all three of you bigs have to be on, because they are that good.’ So are we, but it’s any given day.

Allen Park extends its data center moratorium

Allen Park is extending its moratorium on data center development, citing the need for more time to develop local legislation to regulate the controversial centers. The city council voted unanimously on Tuesday, Nov. 10, to extend its moratorium by six months. This move effectively doubles the city's current six-month data center moratorium, which was passed on June 9. Before the vote, Councilman Dan Loyd said the city's planning commission is currently considering how strict to make the local legislation that would regulate data centers. Communities can regulate data centers through their zoning ordinances. “One of the things that is going to go into this conversation is, as in any time you do legislation, is where do you draw the line? Where do you say, ‘This is not good for our community,’ and ‘This is good for our community?’ These are not easy conversations, and this is where we’re at," said Loyd. Communities across Metro Detroit have scrambled to put data center moratoriums in place to give them time to adjust their zoning ordinances to regulate where these facilities can and can't go . With some of those moratoriums set to expire, several communities are now extending their moratoriums. Rochester Hills
