Four downs from Mason football's dominant district final win over Fenton

MASON — Here is quick reaction from Mason football recording its first shutout of the season with a 49-0 victory over Fenton in a Division 3 district final on Friday, Nov. 6. Player of the game TROY PETERS, MASON: The junior added to what has been a big season with three touchdown runs. Peters had seven carries for 185 yards, which included a 25-yard touchdown run in the second quarter and scoring runs from 71 and 46 yards in the third quarter. Peters was one of two 100-yard rushers for the Bulldogs, who also had sophomore Jeffrey Reisner finish with six carries for 119 yards and a TD. Key moment Trailing 14-0, Fenton opted to go for it on fourth-and-4 from the Mason 15-yard line with just under 5 minutes to play in the opening quarter. The Tigers failed to convert on fourth down for the second straight drive — they had a fake punt pass attempt intercepted by Brett Camp — and Mason turned it into points when Gerrit Koot connected with Gavin Greathouse for a 22-yard TD with 1:39 left in the first quarter. That scored pushed Mason's lead to 21-0. What it means Mason captured its sixth

Free speech lawsuit challenges Michigan State University's trustee ethics code

(The Center Square) – Michigan State University is facing a federal lawsuit challenging recent revisions to its Board of Trustees’ code of ethics. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a national nonprofit organization, is representing university trustee Michael Balow in the lawsuit. “MSU’s revised code censors dissent,” said FIRE attorney Heather Pincus. “If a trustee criticizes a board decision, the trustee could suffer serious consequences, up to referral for removal from office. But if a trustee praises a board decision, the code imposes no consequences. That’s viewpoint discrimination, which the First Amendment forbids.” The revised policy requires trustees to “uphold the university’s reputation” and states trustees “will not undermine and will support the majority decision of the board.” It also requires trustees to raise concerns in “appropriate settings” before board action and sign an acknowledgement agreeing to comply or face sanctions. “But what exactly does ‘undermine’ mean, and who gets to decide?” said Balow. "The majority of the board? The amended code also requires that we will ‘not provide inaccurate, misleading, or false information concerning the University.' But who gets to decide what is ‘inaccurate’? Again, the majority of the board?” According to the foundation, the revisions were made

Troy boys soccer capitalizes on set pieces to claim first state title since 2003

GRAND LEDGE — Two goals on set pieces powered Troy to its first Division 1 soccer since 2003, defeating Livonia Stevenson, 2-1, Saturday evening, Nov. 7, at Grand Ledge High School. Troy scored early on a free kick and then a corner, then was able to rely on its defense the rest of the way. “Any playoff game or big game is very set piece heavy,” Troy coach Adam Spinks said. “I think from the regional semi, we’ve scored on a set piece every single game. We’re a big team so it’s a big part of us.” The opening minutes were owned by Troy (19-0-2), putting the pressure on the Stevenson defense right from the jump. Stevenson senior keeper Luca Allevato was tested early, saving a shot from senior Kevin Garay in the third minute. Troy would keep attacking after a foul set the team up with a free kick in the final third. Senior Ryan Wind sent in a perfect free kick that found senior defender Faris Ibrahim, who then one timed it home to put Troy up 1-0 just six minutes into the match. Stevenson’s defense woke up after the goal, but the team continued to struggle in

Muskegon Western Michigan Christian wins Division 4 title on penalty kick

GRAND LEDGE — Goalie Kaden Peggar was ready to run to the waiting fans in celebration before Carter MacKellar had even gotten set for what turned out to the decisive penalty kick. Seconds later, Peggar, MacKellar and the rest of the Muskegon Western Michigan Christian (21-1-3) boys soccer team raced across the field at Grand Ledge High School, celebrating with fans a 1-0 shootout (4-3) win in the Division 4 boys soccer state championship win over Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett on Saturday, Nov. 7. “He was the guy I trusted the most while I was getting ready to run,” Peggar said postgame. “I was like, if he misses, I'll be shocked.” University Liggett (21-1) had taken a 3-2 lead in penalties after three rounds, and after neither team found the back of the net in regulation or two 10-minute overtime periods. Peggar was stepping back into the net and knew he needed to come up with at least one save to give his team a chance. He ended up stopping the next two, reverting to instinct to guess the proper way and parrying away back-to-back penalties. “I have a really good knack for pens,” Peggar said. “I feel like

Andrew Corder leads Warren De La Salle to Division 2 boys soccer title

GRAND LEDGE — An impressive performance from senior forward Andrew Corder powered Warren De La Salle (21-3-4) to its third consecutive Division 2 boys soccer title, defeating St. Joesph (23-1-0), 3-2, Saturday, Nov. 7, at Grand Ledge High School. Corder assisted on De La Salle's opening goal, then scored twice himself in the second half, his second straight postseason game with a brace. The senior ends his career as the program’s all-time leading goal scorer. “There’s no doubt that Andrew Corder is Mr. Soccer,” coach Thaier Mukhtar said. “If there was any doubt before now there isn’t. He scored two goals in the semifinal, two in the championship, who can deny him.” The game opened with St. Joesph applying pressure, taking four corner kicks in the game’s first 10 minutes. St. Joseph was unable to capitalize on the early momentum though, failing to test De La Salle senior keeper Dominic Baldarotta with the first two shots of the contest. The momentum flipped moments later, with Corder pushing the ball down the left wing for De La Salle's first real chance of the game. He put a beautiful cross in, finding the foot of senior midfielder Settimo Leone, who calmly slotted
