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.

Berkley E-Bike Sidewalk Ban Takes Effect

E-bikes have soared in popularity over the last few years for numerous reasons. They are cheap (compared to cars), convenient, and fun to ride. Recently, the city of Berkley has banned E-bikes, E-motos, electric scooters, and electric skateboards from the sidewalks because they want to keep pedestrians safe and prevent injuries caused by E-bike crashes. E-bikes have been getting more and more popular every year, and people have gotten tired of them and want new laws. A lot of kids have E-bikes, and there have been safety concerns because of the lack of experience these drivers may have. The city classifies an E-bike as any electric-powered bike that is capable of going over twenty-eight MPH. Examples of these include Surrons, Rad Power Bikes, Talaria Sting, etc. But what is the difference between E-bikes and E-motos?
